PocketMatrix

What have I been up to lately? Not much.. Except for this then...

http://www.gapitools.com/comparison.htm

Check out the web site during the next 24 hours for full documentation, downloads, and demonstrations. Some of the cooler things:

(1) Games run in fullscreen when run on a stationary PC (so you can sell your games for both Windows and Pocket PCs at the same time)!
(2) Photoshop effects! A 100% identical implementation of Hue-adjustment and colorization is implemented (same luminance->new/shifted chroma). No cheap multiply effect in this implementation!
(3) Fully object oriented. You use surfaces like with DirectDraw (but with a simpler interface than IDIRECTDRAW7).
(4) Fully compatible with DirectDraw. Porting games to Pocket PCs couldn't be easier.
(5) A new, extremely optimized internal architecture that is very easy to expand (advanced used of templates/inlines).
(6) Supports all Pocket PCs.
(7) No startup-logo.
(8) No MFC! Use it with C, C++ or whatever.
(9) Free!

I will release both GapiDraw + GapiTools without logo and support for all Pocket PCs and x86 at the same time. Tomorrow.

Damn AOL. I typed a big reply and the line dropped before I could post.

Abnway, thanks for the response. I am happy to forge on with PocketGL for my new game which does a pretty good job for a software renderer thanks to Pierre's optimisations and will try out GapiDraw as a method for converting Space Treker to real C.

If ports are as easy as you say I'm sure lots of coders will be signing on.

All the best
