Like try to keep textures at <=2048, how many canvases are too many, try not to go over n amount of VRAM, etc. So Love's graphics code does act a little differently if provided a Compatibility Profile above 2.1? Are these simply back end refinements, like calls to non-deprecated functions? Would Love potentially provide a feature to a client with a newer CP, which would not be backwards compatible with a client running just CP 2.1 (macs)?Д¬ould you provide any other general pointers about what feature limits to target, given the constraints of the OS's and the modernity of their graphics hardware/drivers? This is really the info I'm driving at.

Compatibility Profile OpenGL 3+ contexts are supported by some drivers and provide full backwards compatibility down to code written for OpenGL 1.0 (for better or worse).

#Opengl 2.0 compatible driver#

It does use some features from newer OpenGL versions when either the driver creates a Compatibility Profile context of a higher GL version, or the driver provides the features via extensions.

If we want to support all clients that can run Love, does that mean we should generally code our projects to comply with the minimum requirements of OpenGL 2.1? For instance maximum 64ењ†4 px textures? Or is it better to target some other 'reasonable' set of features, like what Intel chips supported in 2008? Any elaboration on this point in particular would be very valuable.ДЇramebuffer Objects are canvases? It looks like FBOs were moved into openGL 3.0 'core' according to their wiki, does that mean that Love implements the EXT (extension) version of FBOs? Is this less efficient than on systems where it's part of 'core'? If this question makes no sense it's because I don't know what I'm talking about.ДЄlso, according to this article, it seems like Mac OS 10.7+ (the minimum OS for Love 0.10.0) supports OpenGL 3.2 'core'. But why does my mac support multicanvas and texturesize of 8192 if it only supports OpenGL 2.1? Is it because my particular graphics driver supports more than the minimum required for OpenGL 2.1? I ran () on my mac, and it only supports OpenGL 2.1. I apologize for the naivete of the following questions.ДЇrom what I understand, Love 0.10.0 now has a minimum requirement of OpenGL 2.1?Дoes Love always use OpenGL 2.1, or will it use a newer standard if a particular client supports it? It seems like the features it supports are a moving target, which is complicated by client OS and graphics card/drivers. I'm trying to piece together some very basic info.
