Hello All,
I am curious what the status of harware accelerated 2D graphics
on GGI is. I started some work a year ago on adding transparent
blitting, but then became buried in other work. I do have some
code that uses to direct buffer access to do a transparent blit,
and I could probably roll it into GGI, but hesitate to dive in
if the work has already been done.
The reason I ask is that I have a cross platform video game
engine I am about to release as open source, but it is
currently working with an old version of GGI. (some of you
might remember my promises of releasing this beast a year
ago... I really am close this time though!) If new 2D support
has been added, I'll revamp my code to take advantage of it.
And from the Frequenly Rehashed Topics department... what is
the best recommended video card to use with GGI (and linux in
general). I would like it to support 2D and 3D acceleration
on linux, have a bunch of on-board ram, and not require a
mortgage to purchase. :-)
Thanks a bunch!
Thad Phetteplace
