2d apis

[Otm]

Hello

i would like to know if there are code samples or libraries (not magic irrlicht because all based on openGl) that show how to:

1- animate a sprite (animated .gif or frames in a .png)
2- create a 2d scenes with mutliple layers (the level 0 background and then texture on layers z)
3- zoomout zoomin a 2d scenes with those mutliple layers
4- be able to add static objet (wich are at top layer, and not impacted by zooming operation)

if not do you think it would take long to implement this extension on top of irrlicht ?

actually ... is opengl a safe option ? i mean on old pc will it be supported ? basically do u think it is more portable than directX ? because if gl is ok on old platform i dont mind using opengl rendering.


thanks a lot

Well yes sprites have been done with Irrlicht:

And not to draw you away from Irrlicht, but there is a 2d library out their built upon OpenGL that facilitates almost all the needs you described above:
PhoenixGL
