This looks rather interesting!

Does this mean that we would be able to develop for Mac OS now?

Also, Valve have said that the games will run faster than standard Direct X as well! Sweet!

Cheers

Jay.

Yes, very interesting indeed. I'm starting to think this could be something I could infuse into Omega Core to make some really, really interesting things that weren't otherwise possible. Thanks for sharing the link.

I had spotted this also and it has already been passed onto Lee, and he will work out if it is suitable.
