DS Misc > GL2D Preview of V0.1

#83629 - Extreme Coder - Wed May 17, 2006 2:25 pm

Hey everybody!
GL2D(previously 2DGL) is a library for 2d graphics using the DS's semi-3d hardware (OpenGL),which results in pretty fast 2d rendering,and nice effects(being added with every version).

This is the final preview before the real v0.1 of my lib:) It has some pretty good features, such as gif loading and tinting textures, etc...
So I wanted to know what do you guys think of this.

Notes:
1) Paletted Textures bigger than 128x128 aren't working now(will be fixed next version)
2)There aren't any examples yet, but there will be with 0.1(if you can make something, show it to me)
3) There will be a demo with v0.1, to show off the features of this library.

I'm sorry for the lack of documentation, but this will be solved defenitely with v0.1.

And thanks a lot to DynaStab for hosting the library(there are some problems with my ftp)

*cheers Extreme Coder on*
Sounds good. I'll look into it when I get some spare time on my hands.
Could you mention a few of the "nice effects" you incorporated?

Thanks Dark Knight.
Right now, I've got screen fading,tinting, and scaling in the version available here, and you can always draw the same sprite more than once.
I could've added rotation and alpha, but they're not yet THAT stable(they're definitely by next version).
