[08:40:48] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; it would have been nice if gfx hardware designers for devices<BR>
[08:40:58] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; would have given us 2d layering/compositing hardware<BR>
[08:41:04] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; like they did back in the late 80s<BR>
[08:41:26] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; and agreed on a freaking standard<BR>
[08:43:28] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; one damn api for hardware accelerated blits with depth-independent multiple layers<BR>
[08:52:37] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; it's 2007 and 2d games are taking performance hits<BR>
[08:52:40] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; for problems that were solved in hardware in ... 1983<BR>
[08:52:53] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; we're unable to get smooth framerates because of issues that were dealt with (in crude form) by the Atari 400, the TI 99/4a<BR>
[09:45:21] &lt;<font color="#B0B0B0">Colourless</font>&gt; all 3d accelerators can function as advanced layering and compositing devices. The apis for those are also quite 'standard'. Even embedded devices nowdays are coming with 3d cores embedded... but that doesn't mean they are being exposed<BR>
[09:48:10] &lt;<font color="#B0B0B0">Colourless</font>&gt; example: the new iPhone. It contains a 3dcore, but apple wont even allow 3d party software on the device so it's never going to see any real use<BR>
[09:48:21] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; neither will nokia with the n800<BR>

[09:49:43] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; i discovered an open-source game that makes good use of opengl for the 2d compositing - Secret Maryo Chronicles<BR>
[09:51:09] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; i happen to know about this stuff - my first programming job was graphics demos for 2D accelerated graphics cards in the $800-1800 range<BR>
[09:52:12] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; it's a good looking device, phones are jewelry now<BR>
[09:52:34] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Zaar-jobb</font>&gt; hmmm!<BR>
[09:52:42] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Zaar-jobb</font>&gt; mine just makes annoying noises whenever the battery runs low<BR>
[09:52:53] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt;  http://pupnik.de/Netrek_0_01_tinyfont.jpg  geektime on nokia :)<BR>
[09:53:02] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">Zaar-jobb</font>&gt; heh<BR>
[09:53:16] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; 220 dpi<BR>
[09:54:28] &lt;<font color="#B0B0B0">Colourless</font>&gt; something like ultima 7 could probably could have it's rendering done significantly different to the way exult does it in order to improve the framerate. <BR>
[09:56:27] &lt;<font color="#0000C0">pupnik</font>&gt; yeah the scrolling could be asynchronous to the pathfinding and the rest of the logic<BR>
