Hi! I forgot one more thing: DirectX tends to be incompatible. For example: 3DMark 2001 uses DirectX 8.1, but if you upgrade to DirectX 9, then 3D Mark 2001 won't run. So you might as well have problems in this area, while with the carefully designed OpenGL API, you'll not. BTW John Carmack also recommends OpenGL (and so does he uses it too), and "unrecommends" DirectX. -- Greetings, Balázs |
