Differences between SDL and Legacy
« on: April 08, 2011, 10:04:00 am »
So, I've been wondering... What's exactly different from one download to the other?

SDL>Legacy
That's pretty much the answer of the last thread about it.

Legacy is slow. No reason to use it, unless the SDL doesn't like your system.

Legacy has fewer graphics optimizations, I think. It also has fewer graphics-related features like zooming and screen resizing. It might use the old keybind menu too, can't remember.

It's kept around because some people had compatability issues with SDL, I think.

The World Without Knifebear — A much safer world indeed.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
