It is off the point that it is in the wrong newsgroups, but I need your
advice, please.
Please state your opinion that I want to write C/C++ programming to
develop games and emulator projects using MS-DOS, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
and other OS. Many people stick MS-DOS while they use DJCPP, but Microsoft
tells them to move from MS-DOS to Windows by using DirectX.
It may be the problem because we must stick with Microsoft API functions
including Win32 and DirectX. We want to port our codes to other OS. Then I
believe that Allegro library is only the recommendation.
I believe that Allegro is much easier than DirectX and OpenGL because
Allegro can be ported to any OS.
I do not have to modify my source code from OS to another OS. Thanks...

Man, how many games you wanna write ) And for how many OSs.
I'd stick to OpenGL which is still mostly v1.1. Or go with DX/D3D
which develops fast. DX standard is developing very good and many
new game stations can use this code. I dont know about Allegro support
but heard it uses DX calls to get all 3d features.
IMHO it's really hard to write a decent game fully portable to other OSs
I'd say its impossible. Well, good luck)

OpenGL is on every platform.

I suppose with DX you mean DirectX. As far as I know it is MS specific
and not a standard.
Are you talking about something else, or perhaps I am missing something?

What do you think. It's a library. If there's MS it uses MS libraries to do final job.
If its Linux it uses other linux libraries. What, did you think Allegro accesses
hardware ports directly? That's why it's portable. There are probably some bugs.
My friends had some minor problems with Allegro under Linux.

You *could* write your games in such a way that you could just build
for each OS with a different graphics handling class or something, so
you wouldn't have to rewrite your game each time, and could use the
best graphics library for each OS.

Hi,
Ive got a 3d model editor wich im developing
with XNA c# development environment,
using the game window to display the wireframe mesh in 3d.
however I need to use some other windows too,
such as a Form type window wich displays lists of numerical details
about objects in the 3d view and allows objects to be selected from a list
as an alternative to selecting them on the 3d view
as they maybe underneath another object.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
