So, why not use DirectX 9 and a self-built engine instead? ;)\n\nIn this talk we'll take a quick stroll down memory lane, to look at the tech used to build video games in the 2000s. Then we'll see what we can build today using the tech from back then.\n\nLicensed to the public under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","original_language":"eng","persons":["Bastian
