Yeah its a good interview. One thing caught my eye, though:

Quote:

Writing my own AA routines is well beyond my abilities, so there won't be much progress on this area until the svg datatype is updated or until Cairo support on OS4 is brought up to date with a easy to use back end.


Has he considered antigrain geometry?

Yes he has.

And he doesn't really like all that OO stuff.

Or the lack of source code examples on OS4.

He doesn't really know what he's doing, frankly

Steven Solie has used AGG in his WW2 game. Maybe he can help you...
