[Animtutmaker-devel] Thoughts about further progress

[Eyal <em...@gm...>]

Whatever, you know that i don't know what i'm talking about (: .
But I still think OpenGL is too much, for this kind of animation,
all your trying to do is to move a cursor image form (a,b) to (x,y) in time,
it shouldn't be that hard, or a thing that waste alot of resources, and make
the computer run slow, even on weak computers.
But, if Glitz or whatever would make it run faster or smoother, so i think
it's a good idea.
