So, what platform are we gonna port this to? :)

  JavaScript please!
  • dmix 15y ago
    Platform... not language.
    • wgx 15y ago
      Platform: the modern web browser.
  • kingkilr 15y ago
    Emscripten... oh wow if emscripten could handle this that could be an amazing tech demo for browsers.

    Then it can join MESS and MAME: http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/3375 http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/3375

  WebGL?

    Accidentally downvoted you -- fat iPad fingers, sorry! I'm not opposed to the idea, though it'd probably be a port to OpenGL ES (iPhone?) before WebGL.

      nullified
    • djcapelis 15y ago
      WebGL is pretty much OpenGL ES as far as I know...
      • Cushman 15y ago
        Yeah, that's what I'm saying. OpenGL ES + C (iPhone, Android, WP7?) is a likely earlier step than OpenGL ES + JavaScript (WebGL). Do you disagree?
        • daeken 15y ago
          OpenGL ES + C won't fly on WP7. There's no OpenGL ES support (XNA is the exposed 3d API) and you can't write C as you're limited to the managed-only subset of .NET.

            You could use LLVM to compile to .Net. But not sure how easy it is to wrap the OpenGL calls.
            • maaku 15y ago
              Not even worth thinking about... DX and OGL are mutually unintelligible :(
              • daeken 15y ago
                Actually, that's not true. WebGL on Windows is implemented using D3D (ANGLE converts OGL ES calls to D3D9) in most cases, and WINE has done D3D on top of OGL for years. They're very different, but translating between the two really isn't as big a deal as you'd think. (Just keep in mind that XNA isn't D3D -- it may backend to it, but it's a very different API.)

                ANGLE[0] goes some way to solving that. [0] http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/ http://code.google.com/p/angleproject/
