Go easy Indies...
Well on the DX7/DX9 thing. Have anyone of you worked with DarkBasic Pro? Well I have and I left wanting more, thats when I found B3D.
Let me explain DBPro handles .FX shaders and a great deal of other DX9 features, but even their "showcase" demos only run on 1 out of 5 of my computers. And they all have the latest DX9 installed.
So my question was not directed toward DX7, B3D, or shareware sucking or not, I was just curious from a development standpoint. It was mentioned that the entire B3D engine would have to be re-wrote to favor DX9, I was unaware that would have to be done.
@Rob
I agree, that would be time best spent on BlitzMax.
Thanks to all who have helped me see the light, I grow each day as a result :)
