RE: Using Lua for Video Games

[Andy Tai <andy@...>]

sorry for being offtopic, but how can IBM PS2 even support anything like
texture in hardware?  In fact it supports no better than EGA graphics
(640x350x16 colors)...

(laugh, please)

Mmm, well I don't think the PS2 will do that well. It's hard to program
(VU's) and you don't have compressed textures (what *were* they thinking!).
DC and XBox are easier. XBox is great: unified memory, fast, basically a PC!
DC is cheap already and has quality product catalog. I think Nintendo will
struggle, the Gamecube sounds poo. An interesting scenario anyway.
