Re: [Super-tux-devel] Milestone 2 - OpenGL only(?)

[Anthony M. A. <iqg...@as...>]

Hello,

As a user of SuperTux, I primarily use the OpenGL port, even though it 
does not work 100% (I mentioned on this list some time back that the 
characters and objects are semi-transparent), even with my 4+-year-old 
PowerBook G4 with an ATI Rage 128. Although I have contributed next to 
nothing for this project, perhaps a simple opinion from an end-user is 
welcome. If not, I do apologize. Anyways, I think everyone who has 
played this game and likes it, wants it to be the best it can be. If 
that means going OpenGL-only, I think most people, even the ones 
directly affected by this, would understand, especially since their 
next computer will almost certainly be able to support it. Just my 
$0.02.
