Inside: SereneScreen Fan Forum - View Single Post - Jim Sach: how about a PC OpenGL version of Aquarium?

CDV · 07-26-2002, 04:58 PM

I've noticed that the new MacosX version of Aquarium is based on OpenGL, and I'd like to propose that you add GL support to the PC version as well, for those with older (currently non-working) vidcards such as Voodoo2 add-ins..

I'd also like to ask for your impressions from porting to MacosX.. Would you like to share your opinion on this OS with the forum? (for example if you would prefer a PC compatible MacosX to MS's WinXP, et cetera).

Last but not least, again a theoretical question. Considering MacosX is a Unix variant, how easy would it be porting Aquarium to Linux? I obviously understand that the target market among Linux users may be too small to justify the expense, but I'm really wondering on the ease (or lack thereof) of such a port.

Thanks for bearing with my questions, and good luck on your future Aquarium work..
