Hey Guys, My question is I am workin on my first game "pong Xtreme"(pong clone), and I was wondering if you can use opengl for 2d games. If you can would it be easier to use directdraw.Thank you for your input. Paul

I''m pretty sure there might be some way of using OpenGL in 2D games. You might want to set some time aside and try it!

Of course. Just don''t use any Z coordinate at all, or use an orthogonal projection.

Thanks guys for the input, Does anyone know where I could find a tuitorial for this type of thing?

Paul

Try NeHe, he''s got a 2D game as one of his lessons.

Hello again,

In reply to IndirectX''s post, which tuitorial is it?I looked and dident see anything.Thanks again for your input.

Paul

I was referring to #21.

Thank You

If it''s your first game I strongly recommend DirectDraw. There''s a new tutorial here on GameDev.net called "DirectDraw made easy" why not try reading it?

I have made a few games (ex: http://hemojes.4t.com) in DirectDraw and I''m still using it. I want my game to run on a P166 with no 3d card
