Well, I was searching through the RGT Archive tonight, and I saw a thread on this. I only skimmed through it, but it seems to be a plug in to use OpenGL in DBPro apps. My question is, what ever happened to it?

Cheers,
Preston

[Edit] Other than the archive...I only found this:

http://www.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=13851&b=8

Not much, doesnt answer my question, but it may answer the question "What the Hell is DBGL?".

Good question

Then comes tomorrow and you're a little shorter of your breath and one day closer to your death...

As I posted in a different thread concerning OpenGL in DB, Blivvy never made a post after that one, ever. So my guess is he either scrapped it when he ran into a major problem or was too busy or he's working on it in secret.

I might also add that he made the same post on the RGT forums at the same time, that had a lot more replies from users and Blivvy himself. Might be worth taking a look in the archive someone (I forget who, sorry ) uploaded.

Perhaps I can help. These aren't exactly DBGL, but an OGL language with BASIC syntax, like the way DB is with DX. I haven't had a chance to play with either of them yet, but I want. I've downloaded both, its just a matter of having enough free time to learn yet another language.

That's more than one guess.

Well the first was my guess and the other was an afterthought in case someone yelled at me for being negative.

Sorry, I assumed you meant LLRGT.

@Phaelax: Thanks for the links, but thats not what I was looking for. I was just curious on what happened to DBGL, thats all.
