DirectX -> SDL

Post by PeyloW »

Ditch the DirectX code and use SDL instead to support a wider range of computers.

SDL has official support for Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, and IRIX. And unofficial (incomplete of buggy) support for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Atari, QNX, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, and SymbianOS.

As can be seen among the supported systems are the original systems for Dungeon Master :) .

At least have a look at <a href="http://www.libsdl.org">www.libsdl.org</a>

It would be nice to see RTC on the Amiga although the Amiga version of CSB is by far the best IMOHO but then again Im an Amiga guru anyway i still run an A1200 040 tower, and u can play DM and CSB from HD with patches. <p>Unkle Ka5</p>

RTC on Mac

Post by PeyloW »

Just a little note, RTC runs nicely on Mac under VirtualPC. But still a native version (Easliy acomplished using SDL) would be nicer.
