API Independance -> outside graphics

Drath · 2003-03-07T11:47:23

I have just about got my Graphical independance running. Okay, so I haven''t implanted any OpenGL support further than instalization or any further than setting matricies, rendering index buffers and texturing in Direct3D, but I feel as if I at least have a usable interface. I now want to try out some new things. Looking at the DirectX API there is DirectInput, DirectPlay, DirectSetup, DirectMusic, DirectSound and DirectShow. I can''t care less about Setup but I am trying to find good alternatives to the other componants, in particular DirectInput currently. What else is there? Thanks.

Eventually both though Platform independance is rather hard to do when you only have a computer with windows loaded. I want as many APIs as possible just so I can test and experiment and build something that can contain them all.
