Hi folks

I worked on a OpenGL implementation for TPT in the past months and would like to have some feedback on its current performance.
I focused on the particle drawing so menus are buggy and might even crash.
Systems with weak graphics card (Notebooks, Netbooks, old PCs, etc.) will likely run slower with OGL.

The project is located under:
https://github.com/JoJoBond/The-Powder-Toy

You can get binaries here:
Linux https://github.com/JoJoBond/The-Powder-Toy/raw/master/build/powder-linux32.tar.gz
Windows https://github.com/JoJoBond/The-Powder-Toy/raw/master/build/powder-win32.zip
No OSX binary yet. If needed, I can make one.

If menus fail, use the console to load an existing save 'load #id'

Comparisons SDL <> OGL are appreciated.

Some examples for OGL>SDL performance:

If you encounter problems just leave them here, don't forget to mention your hardware set-up.

Thanks for the info. If you don't want to give some useful feedback, why don't you mind your own business?
