It's all well and good that everyone agrees that DirectX is faster and loads better, but it's written in flash and porting the program to directX is not going to be something they can just snap their fingers and do overnight. It doesn't hurt any of us that the flash games take some time to load. Does it mean that open source would be kind of useless for us? Yes. But considering how many of us are actually developers as opposed to the backseat drivers such as myself, I'm thinking that Open source is the least of our worries.
I personally have a great respect for AGM and have come up with some pretty clever, if I do say so myself, work-arounds for people's problems. I can't do tutorials like Che can...I'm just not good enough at anticipating questions. But one thing I can do is answer directed questions to me. I will accept them at [EMAIL PROTECTED], but as I also have a family, I may not get back to you right away. I hope that between the developers and the users who get this program, we can work something out whereby many can use it and none need be left behind. By the way, I'm abandoned the hunting game. I'm now working on concept for a space shooter game like nothing you've seen before.
