I don't think anyone's implied that you do not have a choice. I put forward the idea that my bro might be able to help with the conversion, he said he wasn't interested and instead gave a few suggestions on alternatives that could be used. Nobody's forcing you to take what he's said to heart or work with him (He doesn't even want to work on the project, so that outcome is an impossibility to begin with).answer42 wrote:Not tryin to sound like an ass or anything, but I would rather that others not try decide for me when and who I am going to work with, I have no issues with working with Regalis and no issues with releasing the source so that it can be read and modded and kept free. However, I do not like this very much, I feel as if it is being decided for/without me that I would just start working with this person and on top of that how I am going to do it. I am aware that it is sometimes wise to use existing things, but there's a reason that people "reinvent the wheel", eg it didn't fit the criteria that the developers wanted or they wanted more control of the innards or whatever, if I used an already existing game engine I would probably end up using CryENGINE 3 [it is a very nice engine and even has scalability]. I do not like the idea of Ogre3D at all, and Unity I do not like nor will I probably ever use it. [can't remember why, but I had my reasons for the opinion and will therefor stick with it till I find a reason to change my opinions, regardless of whether or not I remember my original reasons.]
Sounds like a pain, Hope you come through and finish.answer42 wrote:EDIT: forgot to mention it, but SFML uses texture objects to create images. and thats assuming you don't plan on editing the picture and then displaying it again, cause that requires an additional class too.
