Hi, Hi, i've been looking around these forums for quite sometime but as of yet not posted D:
However i've been wanting to learn OpenGL for quite sometime, i tried my hand at C++ but found that it was a little to complex for me especially throwing OpenGL in there, this is why i turned back around and try learn basic, (not doing to bad at the moment) Only problem is i'm trying my hand at OpenGL now in basic, thanks to all the peep's that post source up has helped me out, however i'm still confused on alot of the funtions, when i tried my hand at C++ and OpenGL i found some really good tutorials at :
http://www.videotutorialsrock.comi'm been trying to follow then using basic not don't to bad of a job however i came up stuck and could not get any further and some of the C++ functions used threw my off :S
This was the first tut's source which if anyone could help me port to basic would help loads on the rest of the tutorials, (i understand asking such a task maybe not the greatest first post)
