    If you're refering to Quartz 2D Extreme...I'll assure you CI/CV is not the same thing as Q2D Extreme. Although both use the GPU to achieve things that were done on the CPU in the past.

    Kickaha and Amorph couldn't moderate themselves out of a paper bag. Abdicate responsibility and succumb to idiocy. Two years of letting a member make personal attacks against others, then stepping aside when someone won't put up with it. Not only that but go ahead and shut down my posting priviledges but not the one making the attacks. Not even the common decency to abide by their warning (afer three days of absorbing personal attacks with no mods in sight), just shut my posting down and then say it might happen later if a certian line is crossed. Bullshit flag is flying, I won't abide by lying and coddling of liars who go off-site, create accounts differing in a single letter from my handle with the express purpose to decieve and then claim here that I did it. Everyone be warned, kim kap sol is a lying, deceitful poster.



    Now I guess they should have banned me rather than just shut off posting priviledges, because kickaha and Amorph definitely aren't going to like being called to task when they thought they had it all ignored *cough* *cough* I mean under control. Just a couple o' tools.



    Don't worry, as soon as my work resetting my posts is done I'll disappear forever.

    You're stupider than I thought. CI/CV and Quartz 2D Extreme are simply not the same thing.



    The problem I talk about in that thread is that apps that have many elements to resize and move around as windows resize are intimately linked with the calculations that have to be done by the CPU resizing and moving those elements around. Unless Quartz 2D Extreme does these calculations for the CPU, it won't help with single-window apps cluttered with custom elements.



    Games aren't magically saved by GPUs either. The CPU still has to calculate a 3D scene before sending it off to the graphics card which can add effects and display everything on your monitor.

    What's QDE and what is CE?

    Start putting some real content into your posts instead of flame bait and I'll stop my childish acts. If anything, you're the one that started the flame war by unjustly pointing an accusing finger at me.

    Thanks for derailing the thread. Hopefully, you and I haven't done too much damage and someone will be able to discuss CI and CV more comfortably if you and I can both shut up.



    Can a mod remove all this stupid bickering between us both?

    Accusing yes, unjust-no your last thread pretty much hold up. As for rewriting your posts without letting othes know you added, oh say about these two new paragraphs:







    Is also quite the way to try damage control and make it look like you were doing something other than pure flame warfare during the exchange. Sorry, your moral high ground never materialized.



    As for derailment, I think the train can progress just fine without personal attacks and underhandedness. It would make for a much nicer thread too. As for calling a Mod, trying to hide something???




    I'm still waiting to hear your answer on what makes CI/CV and Quartz 2D Extreme the same. There's somebody hiding something but it ain't me. Let's go AirSluf...start talkin'. Where's the link between this thread and the Q2DE thread?



    Also, I never said Q2DE sucked. I don't know what twisted logic made you come to that conclusion.



    We should probably be taking this conversation to PM or into the Q2DE thread since there was no mention of Q2DE in this thread until you brought it up. Or is this a public penis-size comparison between both of us? I'm sure no one wants to know who's penis is bigger.



    edit: come on, dude. Why are you keeping me waiting like that? Last minute fact checking?



    edit2: I'm sorry the whole thread went to shit after taking the bait...I should have just answered something funny like, "I don't change my underwear."



    edit3: Let's go...what does Quartz 2D Extreme have anything to do with 3D gaming or even 2D gaming for that matter? Come on, I tried to cut the conversation short and you dragged me back into it...let's see your rebuttal.

    So you mean to create multiple squares (for sake of simplicity) with each square having a certain picture on it? Then tile those squares together to make the picture?



    So it would be like tiles for tile-based games like Diablo/DII then. I think I gotcha.



    Do you know if there are any collision checkers when using these 2D squares? Also, is there a way to do more than edge-checking? I wouldn't want to hit the transparent edge of a square and have the fighter die. I don't want the fighter to die unless it ran into a wall/obstacle.



    This is exactly why I want to code this. It's probably reinventing the wheel a thousand times over, but I haven't done it yet so I need to plough through the issues, know what I mean? I wonder if there's a Mac/OS X/Obj-C oriented site that tackles these concepts for us newbs?

    As for rehashing the Q2DE thread, no need for it here. It is linked above and stands on it's own. I just highlighted what from every appearance is a significant difference in your statements between that thread and this one.







    Read Amorphs post above. He has a better idea of it that I originally had.




    Bzzzzt. Wrong. Amorph doesn't talk about Quartz 2D Extreme at all in his post above. Try again.



    It seems that you're the one that is backpedaling at the moment.

    More backpedaling. Keep it up, AirSluf.



    Actually...don't keep it up, I don't want to hear a peep from you until you can figure out why you're making a tie between CI/CV and Q2DE: two completely different things with completely different purposes.



    Sad to know you were born on the same day as I.



    Should I call you AirFluff? Because that's pretty much what your posts contain.
