In particular, the PHIGS evolved from a relatively uninteresting retained-mode scene graphics library to becoming a 3D extension to the X-Windows system called PEX (PHIGS for X), with an active standardization process. Many developers hope that WP7 can support C++ and GCC, but the bitter reality is that Windows Phone 7 has not open native language layer and no OpenGL ES support. Microsoft is planning to use its forthcoming Windows 8 OS to relaunch its beleaguered PC gaming service, according to a source close to the platform holder.… Mac OS X is frustrating for OpenGL support, 2.1 is fully supported but all of 3.x isn't yet (still) which is really annoying, and I wish Steve Jobs would kick his team up the ass and support 4.1 as their GPU hardware supports it. Allegro is a game programming library for C/C++ developers distributed freely, supporting the following platforms: DOS, Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Irix, Solaris, Darwin), Windows, QNX, BeOS and MacOS X. OpenGL is a library of graphics routines available on a wide variety of hardware platforms and operating systems, including Windows 95,Windows NT, OS/2, Digital's Open VMS, and X Windows. Windows, MacOSX, Linux, Android, iOS. OpenGL ES accelerated framework for creating new user interfaces. Texturing not working on Linux (works on Windows) - openGL 2: : Programming & Web Development Community. C++ is still there, and in fact, if you want to do some serious low-level high-speed graphics work, you'll need to dust off your mad C++ skillz and wrap your head around DirectX (which is to Windows as OpenGL is to OSX/iOS). Written entirely in Standard C++ and OpenGL it runs on all Windows platforms, OSX, GNU/Linux, IRIX, Solaris, HP-Ux, AIX and FreeBSD operating systems. Both Mac OS X and Windows are great environments for developing games, and not only that, you can use C for both of them. It provides many functions for graphics, sounds, player input (keyboard, mouse and joystick) and timers. He has played a significant role in the history of computing several times; perhaps his greatest claim to fame is his work on the specification of the OpenGL graphics system, done while working at Silicon Graphics; OpenGL is still one of the two .
