  I see this thread being imminently closed.By DirectX, I assume you mean Direct3D?Edit: Fixed grammar   ;  Glide   ;Quote:Original post by jfclavetteGlide;  OpenGL can be compared with DirectX; If someone decides to use DirectX its high probablility that he won't be using OpenGL at all.But Direct3D is actually what I mean implicitly.THanks for pointing out.   ;  Thanks for the tip. I have added Glide as well.   ;  I wanted to vote OpenGL, but it brought me to a registration form.Sorry but I'm not gonna register somewhere just to vote on a troll-poll.   ;  Direct3D:+   Has a great utility-lib+/- OOP-style+   Tends to get the cool stuff a bit earlier then OGL-   The interfaces change often (or, to be precise, get replaced)-   Only for Windows and XBOX-   Weird naming-convention IMO ("LPREALLYCOOLDX3DSURFACETHINGY" et.c)-   Microsoft :POpenGL:+   The interfaces are very stable and rarely change+   Easier for the noob (IMO atleast)+   Easily works with other langauges then just C++.+   Linux! :)-   Its utility-lib isn't as powerfull as D3D's (but ofcourse this is debatable. I think that basic operations and utility functions should be in separate libs, but alot of people seem to like the D3D-way)-   Extensions can be a mess   ;Quote:Original post by BBBDirect3D:+   Has a great utility-lib+/- OOP-style+   Tends to get the cool stuff a bit earlier then OGL-   The interfaces change often (or, to be precise, get replaced)-   Only for Windows and XBOX-   Weird naming-convention IMO ("LPREALLYCOOLDX3DSURFACETHINGY" et.c)-   Microsoft :POpenGL:+   The interfaces are very stable and rarely change+   Easier for the noob (IMO atleast)+   Easily works with other langauges then just C++.+   Linux! :)-   Its utility-lib isn't as powerfull as D3D's (but ofcourse this is debatable.
