Ok, the deal is, I have to write an effect editting application for our game. In house, the unofficial rule is that all apps will be written using MFC ( I’m not particularly familiar with MFC ). Well, one of the guys at work wrote an app to build shaders for Quake3, the bonus being that we’d get real-time feedback on what the shader might look like. Only…the performance is horrible.
I know I can write a fast app using just plain ol’ windows and doing everything myself…but this could end up being a reasonably sophisticated piece of software, so I’d ideally like the development to go as quickly as possibly.
So, I guess the question is, is there something with how one typically architects an MFC app that leads to the low performance, or are there reasonable ways around this?
Thanks.
