Howto Speed Up Sdl Games?
« on: April 13, 2005, 07:47:45 am »
Hi,

I have successfully compiled many SDL games for the Z. But most of them runs to slow. Has anyone an idea howto speed up SDL apps?
SDL games like Quake runs fast enough to play - so there must be a way to speed up games which are much simpler than quake.

regards,
Silvio

1.) Use soft-float
2.) Teach them to use the gfx hardware accelleration

1. how can I do that?
2. how can I do that? Using SDL_HWSURFACE in SDL_SetVideoMode seems to do nothing :-(
