Velocity Library v1.1

Velocity Library, otherwise known as vLib, is a specical library that’s meant to aid users in developing their own games. ZettaBlade‘s just released it for public use, and he’s already out and about answering questions about version 1.1.

Here’s what he had to say:

So, I’ve changed a bit of the library since the last release. Now you need to specify the draw mode, 2D or 3D. You should only use 2D atm, so just check out the sample for now to see what needs to be done. Once the model loader is more developed, it’ll be much nicer.

I’ve taken out display lists for images for now. It wouldn’t be to much faster then the current code, so I’ve decided not to use it. Also, I’ve add in rotations for images, and a lot of other neat ways to display your image. The drawing process for images is a big longer then last time, so there will be a slight performance drop. But I can guarantee you, it’s a hell of a lot more flexible then last time, so enjoy

Without further ado, here’s the rather lengthy features list for it. He hopes to make a lot of additional fixes and support augmentations in the future, but for now, we think you’l enjoy what ZettaBlade has to offer.
