OpenGL in PHP
Neophytus writes "Submitted as an entry into the .geek PHP5 tournament a proof of concept openGL implementation in PHP has been released by Peter 'iridium' Waller. The demonstration (download) shows four items being rendered in realtime by PHP at a not unreasonable 59FPS. The author welcomes feedback with practical uses for this technology."

How soon till we see a port of Unreal?
Opengl in php.. well, let's see, you could umm.. sell it to a PHB who doesn't know any better, or make bets with people at the local pub that it can be done and then whip it out to win the bet.
I'm sure others are thinking, like me, "Huh? PHP in a window, not a server-side script?"
PHP-GTK baby.... GTK apps written in php..
Soon php will be used for all kinds of innapropriate uses!!
Viva PHP!
Burma?
cheap implementation. JBoss have a far superior product and this does not even come close to the technical excellence that is JBoss. I do not work for JBoss.
Maybe I'll just start using my kitchen sink as a bathtub just because I can.
This just in:
Ken Brown of AdTI reports that there's no way this code could have been written in one year. More investigations are planned to see if code was stolen from MINIX.
...better pr0n

This sig doesn't do windows
The author welcomes feedback with practical uses for this technology.
Because he couldn't think of any.
*ducks*
welcome to the party, PHP.
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail!
Soon php will be used for all kinds of innapropriate uses!!
For a moment I thought of someone writing a PHP script to dynamically generate Perl scripts for web output... just for no real reason
But then I thought.... Naaaaaa.
;)
P.S. Anything on NeHe about this yet? I did a text search of the front page but nada (I haven't been to the site in months).
Are you local? There's nothing for you here!
... and I doubt they would make it to the front page on Slashdot without someone actually downloading and running them to see what they are.
Hi, welcome to Slashdot. You must be new here.

OOooooooh, FACE!!
Breakfast served all day!
from the they-said-it-couldn't-be-done dept.
No, that was the "from the they-said-it-shouldn't-be-done dept." It's down the hall to the right, and be sure to knock loudly before entering.

think about it, im surfing the web, and some stupid ad comes up and demands my processor and video card take time away from whatever I purchased them to do... arrgh... unless I want to disable all the latest plugins or something, and that's a hassle to my lazy moonpie pudged ass
Let me get this straight...
.zip file to Windows box.
1. Read story on Slashdot.
2. Download
3. Unzip file.
4. Execute unknown code.
5. ????
6. Pray.
Is that about it?

You obviously don't read Slashdot as regularly as you say if you think that a "mess-around" wouldn't make it onto the front page.
It couldn't be anymore dangerous than checking your e-mail in Outlook...
Please, "not slashdot worthy"? I believe the page that details how to make an Enterprise out of a dead floppy disk made it up here, twice. You got that *BEAT*.
I would have been the author of this thing, but I read Slashdot too fucking much.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Close one eye.
Everything you just said can be applied to INTERCAL. It's turing complete. It's object oriented. Normally the object being a sledgehammer taken to the inventors, but still an object. It supports inheritance. Thousands have inherited headaches from trying to comprehend it. It has exception handling. The language is an exception, and it can handle printing the word INTERCAL rather without all That much difficulty. Assertions. Very easy in intercal. A large library. Well, there are a good number of libraries. Large community: Well, it's a good size, and anyone who has ever obfuscated code is an INTERCAL user at heart. Also anyone sick of the establishment. So why not INTERCAL? What makes INTERCAL a poor choice as opposed to say perl, python, ruby, vb.net, or any other language whatsoever?
Not a sentence!
It's mean to suggest something like that... Someone now WILL feel they NEED to write OpenGL bindings for BrainF*ck and Bash just because you suggested it and it's perverted enough.
When the only tool you have is a chainsaw, every problem looks like fun.
