Re: Re: Delphix for 3d game Posted by KMS on 22 Oct 2000 at 10:03 AM
Says who?<br>
<br>
Delphix is a wrapper around DirectX, so you will be using the same set of APIs for the graphics as C++ (C cant be used with DirectX).<br>
<br>
Optimizing? Hello? Optimizing nowdays is all about optimizing your algorithms, loop unwinding, fixed-math etc are all gone down the drains with DOS, your standard graphics engine (DirectX, OpenGL, etc) will take care of the graphics.<br>
<br>
I cant see any reason why not to use Delphi for writing games. However, finding a wrapper around OpenGL instead of DirectX would be a big plus, if you care about Linux that is.<br>
<br>
: : I've a problem: i'm beginning with delphi and directx: is delphix a good choice to make 3d game easily?<br>
: : I want to use directx, is it easier with delphix?<br>
: : And where can i find good tuts on delphi?<br>
: <br>
: Delphi is not a good language to program games with. It is slow (Borland doesn't make compilers that optimize very well), bulky, and quite frankly, nobody makes *real* games in Delphi.<br>
: <br>
: I think of Delphi as a nice way to make Win32 apps as an alternative to VB, but not games.<br>
