      I was just asking because I am doing the same thing (learning/fun). I haven't gotten too far into DirectX, and have very little experience with OpenGL. Would you recommend one over the other from your experience so far?

        I haven't done too much with OpenGL yet, but it's already very messy with having to use extensions for every board set (Nvidia, ATI, Matrox, S3) because the 1.3 standard is so obsolete.

        I'd say if you're only doing the game for Windows, DirectX is a good deal better because it simplifies things greatly from a developer's point of view, and it's also nice to use DirectInput, DirectSound, etc.

        If you're doing a multiplatform game, OpenGL is definitely the way to go.

        There are some fundamental differences between the two. DirectX is more object oriented and OpenGL more procedural, and DirectX uses a left handed coordinate system (As the Z axis gets larger, that means it's farther away) while OpenGL uses a right handed coordinate system (Z axis gets larger as it gets closed to you).

        Both have their uses and are both equally fun.

                  I'm so bored, I'm sat at my PC in my boxers and a t-shirt, playing Perfect Dark, as for some reason I felt it necessary to hook my brother's N64 up to the TV card in the PC.

                    What are you doing lounging around in boxers? It's 10AM friday there, shouldn't you be off at school instead of ****ing at home all day?

                              Not yet. I'm not very tired. And it's still so early.

                              I'm trying to make this program work before I go to bed and it's not doing what I want it to yet. Just one or two more bugs then I'm off to bed.

                                The OT threads don`t seem to have the same zing to them that for sure.

                                Perhaps some old felons should get early release
