1. Glide 3x work
Hi,
As some may know, I have been working on wrapping Glide 3x (a programming
API for 3dfx cards).
I was recently reading through old mailing list messages and found out about
the Genesis3D API.
www.genesis3d.com
This is IMHO so much better than Glide, Direct X or OpenGL. So I will now be
working in Genesis3D (in Visual C++ probably (eww)).
Anyway, my (messy/incomplete) work on Glide 3x is now public domain and is
on my site at
www.alphalink.com.au/~molasses/
If you have a Voodoo card, it's probably worth having a look at the demos
(as 3d hardware acceleration hasn't previously been seen in Euphoria).
Sorry if I am disappointing anyone. Maybe someone else will take over Glide
3x in Euphoria (i'd be happy to pass on my knowledge).

Hi Molasses, I'm currently finishing up a DirectX Game Library
as Alpha(Not all the functions are built in yet) for Euphoria...
... I definetly want, sometime down the road, 3dfx and OpenGL
support for the lib. That's if Alot of Euphoria people are interested
in my game lib. Probably not. Is it alright If I try to incorporate
your Glide program into my lib?
Mabie you should email me at
emailto:triggins at airmail.net
to discuss this if you let me...

Hello
I am definitely interested in any of the libraries that you guys have, and
I really would like to see a graphics library that is supported outside the
Euphoria circles as well as in them.
BTW, Molasses I have a Voodoo 3 and it appears that Demo01 works, but it
does not shut down properly, leaving me with a blank screen and no other
recourse except to reset the computer. I noticed when I upgraded from
Voodoo (1) to Voodoo 3 that my 3dfx wrapper broke. Hmm. Also, it looks like
that the Demo02 that you wrote is looking for "seq.e", which I do not have.
Could you please post it or direct me to it.
If you guys need any help let me know!
Thanks
Paul Martin

Fixed.
Please get the new zip at www.alphalink.com.au/~molasses
(it's only 20k, ppl with 3dfx cards please try it)
