Port DirectX Games to the Mac

Posted by pudge on from the we-just-don't-have-enough-games dept.

tassii writes "MacCentral reports that Coderus' MacDX provides PC game developers with a way of moving that DirectX code to the Mac without having to rewrite it from scratch. Coderus claims that most code which uses DirectX can simply be recompiled and linked to the MacDX libraries. Maybe I can finally play the full Command and Conquer series."

    News flash for ya: Linux has never lead, and never will.

    Linux is a clone of UNIX. The GUI most distros ship with it is a hybrid of the "old-skool" UNIX X windowing system and Windows95. The most popular Linux office suite is a clone of MS-Office.

    That is why copying yet another Windows or UNIX technology is a "great win for linux."

    Linux is not about breaking new ground, it's about walking on the old ground freely and for free.
