Question: It seems writing a mp3 decoder was the hard part, which had been done. Why do you think no one bothered with a decent GUI?

    I would go out on a limb and propose that there aren't that many people who really get, and enjoy, writing a certain class of applications.

Question: in plush, to render 20 spheres at different positions, do you need 20 pl_Objs or can you redraw the same one and translate x20?
Asked by olilarkin (144.32.204.x) on August 26 2011, 11:35am
Reply on August 26 2011, 12:31pm (edited at August 26 2011, 12:40pm):
    20 pl_Objs, or multiple calls to Begin()/End(), which can work but would require z-buffering to look right. The current reason for this is that some intermediate state is stored in the object's pl_Face and pl_Vertex objects... It would be easy enough to change that, though...

    I think it could in theory use hardware, it was supposed to accelerate some things, at least. Not sure what the status of it is at this point. Others could test, of course...
