The Viktoria Institute is excited to announce the release of GapiDraw 3.0 Multi-Platform.

GapiDraw is a multi-platform graphics library for Stationary PCs, Pocket PCs, Microsoft Smartphones, and all Symbian Smartphones. This new version is faster than the already optimized 2.0 and adds Symbian support.

GapiDraw has been used in over 120 commercial games for the Pocket PC, games that now easily can be ported over to the Symbian platform using GapiDraw 3.0 Multi-Platform. Game titles using GapiDraw include Everquest for the Pocket PC by Sony Online Entertainment, Warlords II by Pocket PC Studios , and Tower Mogul by ESoftInteractive.

Here are some of the new features in this version:
 It is now possible to create Unicode applications on stationary PCs.
 GapiDraw can now be used to create Windowed (non-full-screen) applications on Pocket PCs
 New functions that simplifies surface-to-surface copying.
 New blit effects: GDBLTFASTFX_SCREEN and GDBLTFASTFX_OVERLAY.
 Parts of BltFast were rewritten in ARM assembler, resulting in a 5-8% performance improvement when no blend effects are used.
 Grayscale PNG images are now supported by the PNG importer.
