HWA

[Zabooza]

what is Hwa?

[Shawn]

Hardware Acceleration.

Basically graphics acceleration with a video card, like what modern games use.

In the proper hands, and using techniques, it can allow for stunning presentations which were previously impossible without grinding MMF2 to a halt, if not impossible period, considering some pixel shaders are only available on HWA.

HWA lets you have 20k+ visible objects moving, rotating, and scaling all at once on some machines without any slow down. =)

[SEELE]

20k+?

don't you mean 20k-?

[Looki]

SEELE, what are you talking about? HWA runs faster, if you're not using an onboard GPU with 1 mhz.

[Werbad]

20k is the maximum, so 20k+ is not possible.

[Looki]

Don't be so picky I think he meant that HWA is slower than normal MMF, since he used the -... or is it supposed to be a placeholder?

People with slow computers tend to think that when things don't work, it's the fault of the thing thats not working, rather then the computer it's not working on.
