I like OpenGL and there is a library for it to be used with VB6.

Why use a cross-platform API in a single-platform language?

Why aren't maps and shit loaded up in a dynamic array?

you, me, and 2 others?

Seems overkill.

*shrugs*

I don't want it. Verrigan has been trying to get me to convert FPO over to OpenGL for awhile now.

Personally, I don't like OpenGL.

It has it's uses, but I don't see how it's any more convenient than Dx8 in vb6.

Well the only reason I'd convert to OpenGL is for cross-platform, but with VB6 that's worthless...I just thought it would be interesting to switch to OpenGL instead of everybody demanding DirectX. OpenGL may be faster, who knows? If I can learn it I'll try to make a class or something for it...but I have yet to see any examples of it being used with 2D.
