It probably is full of preservatives and other things not healthy for you.SuperTuxKart is a free kart racing game. Maybe if we are lucky, better 3D support will come with the 圆4 version of MorphOS, but those are two completely different and unrelated things.Įdit: As for Pizza, I don't think that an automated Pizza machine that gives you a Pizza in 3 minutes, is something I would want to eat. That being said, I would be happy to donate more gear, or bounty money, toward the improvement of 3D support for MorphOS. I have already donated and shipped to Bigfoot a G5 PowerMac (not sure it is still in use, as it might have had some problems after shipment to Africa from the USA, IIRC), and a good friend of mine, Jim, has donated several video cards to both Bigfoot, and Frank. I am sure that Bigfoot already has many MorphOS capable machines, as well as x86/圆4 systems, which allow him to work on any part of the existing PPC version of MorphOS, as well as the future 圆4 compatible version of MorphOS, and probably several different compatible video cards, to test out new 3D drivers, and/or improvements to TinyGL, or full support of a newer version of OpenGL. I don't understand what 'offer such a machine' means in the above sentence. the way is to offer a such a machine to bigfoot I should not have confused this thread with my question. It would be nice if the OS itself, had more modern 3D support, by including more recent and more complete support of OpenGL. Since it is a related discussion, I added the question of a possibility of improving TinyGL/OpenGL compatibility built into MorphOS. I do realize that your suggestion does nothing to help improve TinyGL of MorphOS. I should have been more clear in my previous post. Having a good open source game library on MorphOS will make game programming more accessible to everybody. But there is also other common game functionality like collision detection, math functions, 2D GUI System, XML Parser etc. For example loading 3D object from industry standard file formats or loading Quake maps etc. Irrlight can be seen as another big C(++) library that wraps around Open- or TinyGL which makes 3D programming a lot easier. Irrlight will only utilize that existing API. TinyGL is MorphOS's own (OpenGL based) 3D Graphics library (API). Irrlight will not improve the possibilities of TinyGL in any form. Hi Dave, if im not mistaken you are mixing 2 things up here :) If Irrlight engine is not the best choice for better 3D engine, or improved TinyGL/OpenGL support for MorphOS, this thread is still useful for opening, or continuing a discussion about how 3D support within MorphOS can be improved. I purchased several programming books on OpenGL and 3D programming, but considering that I don't even count myself as a 'real' programmer yet, it is highly doubtful that I will ever be up to the task of creating a better version of TinyGL, or any alternative 3D game engine.

Is there anything preventing improvement of our current TinyGL support within MorphOS, to make porting of games and programs using newer versions of OpenGL possible, or at least easier? I noticed SuperTuxKart uses Irrlight, but as all forums about this port are in German it's very hard to get some more information about it. I think Irrlight is a great engine and addition to the MorphOS community. Correct me if i'm wrong and this is the reason is started this bounty. But I haven't received an answer.īottom line, there is no free open source 3D game engine currently available on MorphOS. I emailed them some time ago, with the request to open source their technology. I think this is a good cross platform engine, but commercial.Ĭlosed source, nonavailable to public. Great engine, but targeted for 2D game development. Same as SDL 1.2 besides that the port is still under development.

and there is still a lot of complex *GL code to be written for a complete 3D game. Here you have basic user input, timers etc. Also this is the most time consuming option and ofcourse not every C(++) programmer is a hardcore *GL coder. This is nice, but you are re-inventing the wheel. Write your own game engine using C(++) and make hard calls to TinyGL.

Let say you want to engage in (3D) game development on MorphOS, then these are the options i found: Irrlight supports a wide range of texture and mesh file formats out-of-the-box: The objective is to have a complete free 3D game engine on MorphOS. This is a very generous offer but what is your ultimate objective here?
