Glide driver for 3dfx Voodoo Graphics Hardware

Desde as eras dos anos 90, quando a geração Y tentava sobreviver ao tédio, surgiam APIs gráficas que lhes permitiam desfrutar de jogos com realismo violento, com muita porrada, destruição e morte, coisa que hoje ninguém tem culhão de fazer sem criar um manifesto tchola tentando justificar o injustificável.

Era combate contra demônio, combate no próprio umbral, no inferno, nas galáxias, no limbo, no liminar do real e do surreal. E para tal feito, a 3dfx botou o pau na mesa e nos trouxe o Glide, uma API gráfica designada a usar todo o potencial do hardware Voodoo Graphics, com RAMDAC, aceleradores 3D e os caralhos a quatro.

Se você ouviu dizer que a Glide era mais foda que o Direct3D e o OpenGL... Pois saiba que é (relativamente) um fato. Glide já tinha sido infectada com o vírus que trouxe Mantle, Direct3D 12, Metal e Vulkan para este mundo, dentro das limitações daquele tempo, é claro.

Fun fact: Glide usa parcialmente o mesmo prefixo de código (é algo do C que age como namespace do C++) que o Mantle. Sim, não inclua os dois no mesmo ambiente ou haverá conflitos sobre o prefixo gr/Gr/GR.
