Hi,

just some general questions. I'd like to use horde with my macbook. The macbook uses intel gma x3100 graphics, which AFAIK supports opengl 1.5. but not 2.0. Is there a way to develop with horde3d/ run horde3d applications with ogl 1.5. cards?

thanks and bye

Unfortunately not - Horde is entirely shader based, and needs OpenGL 2+ for GLSL support. You could run Horde on Apple's software OpenGL renderer, but the performance is not IMHO good enough to warrant the effort.

I would suggest you look at one of the slightly older engines, such as IrrLicht, which has a fully featured fixed-function pipeline - and which runs very nicely on a MacBook.
