Re: [AD] Two monitors... anyway hehe

Hi AJ

Thanks for your fast response.

I'm not trying to convince Allegro developers to write
multimonitor support, just trying to get some help on
it.

Some time ago, I asked about a particular Embedded
port I made, and I finally get it work at a 16-bit CPU
environment. This OEM platform supports two video just
changing a pointer to the display memory and this
"tiny allegro" works ok. I want to mimic this
environment in Win32/PC environment, with allegro, and
that's why I just asked about multimonitors.

But I guess a multimonitor game nowadays is an
included feature on almost every video game... so I
guess (IMHO of course) it's a "desirable" feature.

On the other hand, the "multiprocess" client-server
alike approach is what I think first to do, but I just
drop my questions to this community because is not the
same to call something like: 

"set_allegro_monitor(HMONITOR *hmon);"  (as I did in
my "tiny-allegro") 

than writing two applications with all the IPC
communication issues...

Is multimonitor a game "established" feature nowadays?
That is what I would ask in the first place.

Thanks to you and Eric and all the developers
community for the support received,

Kind regards,
Hugo Caro
