I'll be implementing a micro-Allegro with the new gfx API as I write it,and make a DDraw 7 back-end too. This will hopefully give us soething topoke around with.


Hmm why not DX8?

I thought they completely changed the graphics interface for DX8? Likehow they merged Direct3D and DirectDraw into a single class from what Ihear?

Also from what I gather there is much better accelerationcaps/opportunities in DX8?

I'm just curious as I've never coded DX directly, so I have noexperience in this matter.
