Almost forgot GCC!!!!!

-Edit- I personally think GCC should be the standard development compiler for the platform, not because it's the best, but becuase it is free, uptodate, easily portable and it runs on almost anythinging :-)

I can do html and servlet programming and that sort of stuff, but i suck at designing eyecandy. if you can get an artist to do the design, i can code it.

I like the basis behind the idea but I think you will have a problem choosing either CyberGFX or Picasso96 "standards" as neither are particularly open or within our domain to control.


I would point out here that Picasso96 can run CyberGFX API apps, so using CyberGFX allows Picasso96-based apps to work as well.  (Much like how an XLib replacement is used for QNX to allow it to meet POSIX)

My idea, my idea ! ;-)

Joking apart, politics shouldn't come into it as developing apps that conform to the openamiga standard, is completely voluntary.  No one's forcing you to do it if you don't want.

does it make a difference :-D
ok, here's the cut: designers are usualy women, coders are usualy guys (with a few exceptions -TM).
Now i'm a coder, so you do the math :-D

Never underestimate the power of suggestion  :-D  :-D  :-D

It makes no difference at all!!! since you asked the question "How do you know I'm a guy" It's been bugging me  :-D

@Downix

Good move, that's cool :-)


This is really taking shape, I hope we can knock all these flame wars on the head.

Is there any reason why OpenGL 1.2 is mentioned?
Not being much of a gfx programmer I'm just currious why the spec  isn't OpenGL 1.4.

We haven't decided base versions yet!!! Only just the common APIs...  :-D

But you are right, we will have to decide what the minimum version of each API must be... But that is what the OpenAmiga is all about  :-P

We don't have to declare support for the extensions if thats to much of a huste to implement but at least OGL 1.3 would be nice. That way we could also make an effort against ports of old api's that never gets updated. but hey, thats just me ranting  ;-)
