  |
|
I've been out of town for awhile and just checking if any headway has come of using Direct X over Open GL.
I suspect not seeing I can't find anything new when I search for it.
Buckaroo. |

I'm glad it atleast still on the books.
I like the new C++ Tutorials.
Now that I just built a 4 core processor I'm just starting to learn about how to use them.
I just installed Windows 7 until it expires the next 30 days and I will say that it runs well especially when compiling programs seems faster.
anyway, this probably belongs in another forum but what's the word on VS 2010?

I'm not sure, but I have tried out the beta version of VS 2010 and it looks good. As soon as it comes out I'll be converting over to it. |

|

Aha, VS 2010! So, according to the emerging C++0x standard we could expect all those brand new lambdas (anonymous functions), r-value references, reworked ‘auto’ keyword, move semantics, perfect forwarding, static asserts, concepts, extended templates, and other terrible things? 
C++0x Working Draft (the latest):
http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2009/n2914.pdf
However, VC2010 supports only 5 new features (apart from many boost library assets that are going to be moved in std:: ), thus there is no need to worry.
http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/10/28/lambdas-auto-and-static-assert-c-0x-features-in-vc10-part-1.aspx
When the next C++0x standard is ratified we will have to wait for another couple years (or more) till new features will be supported by leading C++ compilers. |

Well, I don´t think that DirectX is the right way to go, at least not for me.
MacOSX and Linux are rising(very slowly but they do) and DirectX is not a good option (IMHO), becouse that code would work only at Windows operating systems. |

Are you considering XNA at all?
They have good support for loading and animating meshes. |

| No XNA in the near future. I'm going to stick to C++. |

I have the same opinion. Becouse I code for Winows and Linux I had to skip first parts of Game Engine VMK´s becouse it was using WINAPI. So I used GLUT(not the best way but at least it´s easy to initialise a window).
From what I saw, the OpenGL has very many possibilites that has not been uncovered in GameEngine VMK´s. |
