Panda3D, for all its merits, isn’t going to cut it on my netbook. Lacking a Real Computer, it’s kind of sunk for me…<\/p>\n

I’ve decided, then, to try OGRE3D if I can get it installed and working. It’s got a bit more power, and apparently handles just fine on a netbook.<\/p>\n

That means digging up C++ again and<\/strong> learning a complex library in a weekend. I’ll try to at least have something<\/strong> to submit for the jam. Hoping.<\/p>\n

So, yeah. I’m not using Panda3D now. OGRE3D if I can get it working. Not sure how I’ll port my game to Windows, though…<\/p>","time":"August 19th, 2010 6:59 am","title":"A Change of Tools \u2013 Swapping Pandas for Ogres"}
