Then have your terminal use that. I still say that direct awareness of the hardware is _way_ too much coupling.
- jstimpfle 7y agoOpenGL is actually pretty high-level. I don't know how much detail of the hardware it lets you get - probably mostly through hardware-specific extensions. The most basic usage is really hardware oblivious. There are many even more high-level toolkits on top of that, such as Qt. But if you need some flexibility and performance, using OpenGL is probably your best bet.
- camgunz 7y agoYeah, plus hardware accelerated font rendering isn't trivial.
