[EN] Differences from original X‐Ray

Differences from original X-Ray

	X-Ray	OpenXRay
OS	Windows-only	Windows, Linux, macOS (almost finished)
Architecture	32-bit only	32-bit, 64-bit, can run on ARM processors
Graphics under the hood	DX9, DX10, DX11	DX9, DX11 (and DX11 in DX10 mode), OpenGL
Input	Keyboard and mouse only	Keyboard, mouse, work on gamepad support is in progress, you can try already
Performance	Ok for the original games, not that bad	Many optimizations and refactorings to speed up the game
Multithreading	90-95% singlethreaded	Some parts of the code were optimized and parallelized resulting in higher FPS, but still highly singlethreaded, there's a ton of work to do
Modding	Nowadays, engine provides lesser functionality than modern modmakers sometimes need	New features for modmakers, some removed functionality was restored. We need to make a documentation, though. help is appreciated :)
Engine Development	C++03 Visual Studio 2005, 2008 Borland C++ Builder 6 (for game SDK) Slow compilation times	C++17 Visual Studio 2017, 2019 SDK code was removed, but there are other community projects that have updated it to modern Embarcadero C++ Builder or rewritten it to ImGUI or Windows Forms, WPF Fast compilation times (due to dedicated optimizations in code and due to much of improvements in Visual Studio, MSVC, MSBuild themselves)
Games	Three separate engine versions for three games	We aim to make one engine for all three games. Work is in progress...
