Great work!

I'm sure this will come to good use some time in the future

There's a game using it that you can try out:
WW2

@Origin

Yeah I saw that just after posting
I have downloaded it!

great, Steven!

Do you think that we can prepare a video driver for mplayer? I don't know the AGG SDK but theoretically should be possible. isn't it?

I LOVE this AntiGrain engine.

This is most excellent. Especially the SDK... Get coding you clever people

great work ssolie, theese has allready come in hand here..

Those demos are really eye catching. And remember, they are not hardware accelerated or optimized in any way which means they are running as slow as they could. All rendering is being done by the CPU in non-gfx memory.

I finally broke down and implemented window resizing which was something I've been meaning to do for some time. It makes the demos which support resizing that much more interesting.

After seeing WW2, I'd like to ask. How hard would you say it would be to create a game using the AntiGrain engine from scratch?

AGG is a 2D gfx rendering framework which you normally use to build an API for example. If mplayer needs to render 2D gfx then it may be able to use AGG but otherwise I see no application.

Gotta love those nice smooth anti-aliased lines...

It isn't an easy framework to use from a learning perspective but the examples and mailing list support is very good at steering you in the right direction. AGG is very abstract and parameterized but once you define your boundary conditions and decide on gfx primitives and rendering quality it wouldn't be too difficult to create a game using it. It just won't be easy to get the hang of AGG at first.

Hardware acceleration with AGG is possible (I use a little in my WW2 game already) but we don't have a proper API for manipulating the alpha channel so it would be wiser to stick to 24 bit gfx modes and lower if you want the option of proper h/w acceleration later on in a fast action game.

Yes I do VERY nice.

My programming skills (As mentioned before) are limited to the point that I actually got a 'Hello World' example wrong . Still, my theory & logic behind what should work & how things could work should make sense to your average coder.

Everything is ready designed. It's actually an exact clone of an existing, but not very well known, game that I have in mind. Well, when I say exact, network support is definately needed. But that's the only alteration.

During July/August last year me & a few other members got all worked up & driven to start learning but I had a few other commitments & my personal knowledge hasn't moved any ... I think SlimJim was one of them.

I know trust is something you cannot simply ask for but I will. Trust me when I say, this game could be THE killer app on OS4. I just need a crack team of coders. GFX skillz aren't overly needed.

If Antigrain can render a bitmap it should be able to play a video.
Don't you think? It should work like SDL, or not?

@ssolie: tried finally AGG demos on my classic. They look even better than I thought. Nice work.
