These files are the OpenGL ES render driver. You should be able to use them on any platform that supports OpenGL ES -- not just iPhone. The driver is based off the OpenGL render driver. There are a few differences between OpenGL and OpenGL ES that present difficulties for this driver: - OpenGL ES does NOT support many pixel formats (for example, no GL_BGR). Also, when using texture functions format and internalFormat must be the same -- this means 32 bit packed formats like SDL_PIXELFORMAT_BGR888 cannot be automatically converted to GL_RGB (which is 24bpp). - OpenGL ES doesn't have GL_PACK_ROW_LENGTH, which means data must be reformatted before uploading changes to dirty rects. This change has been added. - OpenGL ES doesn't support paletted textures, though there is an extension. I'm looking into this. Some other notable differences: - OpenGL ES has an extension called GL_OES_draw_texture which allows for quicker 2D sprite-type drawing. I use this in GL_RenderCopy when it is available. The iPhone supports the extension, but the iPhone Simulator does not (presently). - No glBegin() / glEnd() and no GL_QUADS! I'm using glDrawArrays with GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP instead!
