PocketHAL 0.6.0 Released

by **Kzinti** » Feb 16, 2004 @ 6:34am

The sixth release of PocketHAL, the next generation library for Pocket PC game development has been released.

Get it fresh at: http://pockethal.droneship.com

PocketHAL can currently be seen as an alternative to GAPI and GAPI-based libraries. You though GAPI was the fastest way to do graphics on your Pocket PC? Think again. PocketHAL can often run twice as fast as GAPI and further optimizations are in the work.

What's new in the 0.6 build:

* Special support for MediaQ devices.
* API changes to accomodate future devices / platforms.

What sort of speedups can MediaQ devices expect?

You will probably need FORCE_FULL_UPDATE for other things, like when you app receives focus again after it lost focus to some other app. Cause with your current optimizations, redrawing the screen would do nothing, as it would think that 'nothing' changed. We had this problem and came up with the flag FORCE_REDRAW to handle it.

Thanks for the head up RCP, I didn't think about that one.
