Hi all,

The next beta version of PTDev is now available.

This version includes support for developing PTDev
applications under Visual Studio 2005 (beta).

PTDev is a fast C++ graphics/sound library, currently for
Windows Mobile devices and PC's, support for Symbian
development to be added.

Noteable features include:

Virtual collision checking of all blitter objects including
rotated/scaled ones is available (without any extra blitting).

Re-alignment/orientation of surfaces to match the backbuffer/display
on changes to the xPitch and yPitch for optimum performance is
achieved without memory overheads.

Mask surface collision testing allows the testing/use of 16-bit masks
instead of just 16-bit values, allowing the discovery/identification of
multiple collisions in a single function call.

Full 32-channel sound available in licensed version (8 in beta/demo).
