Yep, the visuals are drawn by OGL. Glad that you like it, check the URL in the video description.

I find OpenGL much more approachable than DirectX although I guess DX is a better choice if developing primarily for Windows (or so I hear). Neither help with high level stuff like animation or importing models from a 3D app so you could instead look into some free 3D engines out there (Ogre etc.), if you don't feel like rolling your own.

So you made this using OpenGL? Hence the OpenGL keyword? It's really cool though, nice idea. Also, easy on the eyes. How do I get my hands on it?

I'm new to programming, just finished my first C++ book and looking into OpenGL. Would you say OpenGL is good for games and 3D character movement? I kinda want to make a character and have him do stuff on my desktop. Would you know anything about that sort of thing?
