After thinking about it again this weekend, I can see how having a GLES1,GLES2 to D3D translation layer in Waffle would be useful, and it fits in nicely with a planned, future feature of Waffle. The new feature is a reproduction of GLEW's functionality---dispatching GL extension functions and their aliases--- but at the granularity of thread and context for all GL API's. This way, if one thread has a GLES2 context bound and another has a GL 3.2 compat context bound, each thread will be able to resolve and dispatch extension functions independently.
I think ANGLE integration fits in nicely with this feature. However, I'm postponing the dispatch work until I finish the tasks I'm currently working on. You're re-implementing Waffle in Go! In the early stages in Waffle's development, I considered writing Waffle in Go, but eventually decided against it. I'm really interested in seeing what your re-implementation looks like. -Chad On 11/10/2012 10:39 AM, mortdeus wrote: > Understood, well im going to go ahead and fork so I can make those extensions > myself as part of my cross platform layer. > > Ill let you guys know if anything cool comes out of it. > > https://github.com/mortdeus/egles/tree/master/waffle > > On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 12:47 PM, Chad Versace <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > I think those two subjects---translating GL to D3D and translating among > GL api,s---is outside of the scope of Waffle.
