Title: Open GL Tutorial ?
Post by: Hotshot on December 09, 2008

It would be nice if there was Open GL tutorial for Freebasic.

I do know there is http://nehe.gamedev.net/ (http://nehe.gamedev.net/) FOR OPEN GL tutorial but it not for Freebasic  >:(

I really like Shockwave Checkboard in OPEN GL and look amazing :)

The Nehe ones can be used with freebasic mate :)

There's lots of opengl frameworks around here for freebasic..

Here's a topic with some interesting things;

I'd definately do a bit more work with tinyptc first before you get stuck into opengl but gl is a real joy to use.

As for tutorials, I plan to program a section of the site for them in the no too distant future, this will depend on having suitable tutorials though :)

you should have a look at some of my old freebasic opengl threads spread through this forum hotshot mate,

a lot of them could be thought of as tutorials as i had to ask so many questions  :D.

And about the Nehe tuts (these are really very cool tuts), take a look at the example files located in FreeBASIC/examples/libraries/GL/NeHe  ;)

These sources are plain FB conversions of most NeHe's tutorials. Plus, the GL functions are exactly the same in C and in FB. Just use the tutorials in conjunction with the example files. I learned (the few knowledge I have about) GL like that and it was relatively easy once the way GL works was understood  :).
