@XxDahamonnahxX OpenGL is a Open source project that is universally accepted, wheres Direct X is proprietary software owned by Microsoft. OpenGL is for Video Rendering Through Hardware Acceleration (Graphics cards) but Direct X does a lot more, like sound design (Direct Sound), Video Rendering (Direct 3D), Scripting and other special hardware tasks.

you can also check out my channel. it features videos about the program i developed that do projectile motion. if you're interested in this program you could download it from softpedia. thanks a lot in advance
Yeah, cos u don't want to actually use the media possibilities of a computer to learn stuff about computer programming, cos that would be like using the tool your going to exploit to learn how to exploit it... which would be, like, er, crazzzy, yeah?
@Ilikemustard True, if you want that, go to antiRTFM's C++ tutorials, but it is good to make sure people understand what it is they're doing if they don't know what they're even getting into, especially since OpenGL isn't a good beginner's start. I've been learning SDL OpenGL for the past few days and I want to make the full transition to OpenGL, I don't need the beginner's guide, but it's nice to have.

Why do you stupify everything?
Did it ever cross your mind, that it actually requires brain power to program with OpenGL? And if people have issues finding out the basics, they shouldn't be trying in the first place.
it's called learning. no one is just gonna know the basics, they have to learn the basics before they can move forward, simplifying it makes it easier to learn. And once you learn the basics, then you can learn the more difficult shit. You build up. Teachers in elementary don't just bust out with algebra and calculus, they start with basic adding and subtracting.. But I guess any 8 year old that doesn't understand the concept of algebra should just give up on basic math, right?
@iceshadow625 Yes. Until his or hers brain is able to comprehend the information send from other people. How would you feel, if suddenly we had millions of mental retarded people, programming because some fool stupefied it. Learning is supposed to be an task in which you LEARN by using your brain, to cold-heartedly "figure it out" and not get spoon-fed every bit of information.
@MrVirtualCoder I see, so basically you're saying, it's better to actually know and understand what you're doing than to just use what you memorized? (sadly that's what schools try to do, is make you memorize) well anyways, with language syntax, isnt that what you really are doing? just memorizing it. Understanding comes into affect when you add the logic that makes it work. So if a million retarded people wanted to draw shapes, then good for them. But that's about as far as they'll get with it
I have question i know this open gl thing but why waste time type lines of codes just to make a simple square if you can made these easily on programs llike maya and 3ds max please enlighten me. is there a way to import the objects in programs like maya to use in c++???
@4Got10Shadow Yes, this is just a basic example to learn OpenGL and to understand 3D. You don't just jump right into importing models into your games when you don't know any OpenGL at all, but later that's what you do for models more advanced than like cubes.
@4Got10Shadow No, but you can only use functions that Blender provides. If you wanna use your own functions or make your own engine you have to learn OpenGL.
the people who wrote the header files for the OpenGL and GLUT mac frameworks(which I think are basically the same as those for windows and others) failed to put any comments describing the methods declared(I know that GNU had something to do with OpenAL, which has the same lack of comments). Thanks for the tutorial; I now understand what at least some of the functions in OpenGL and GLUT are used for,
... Not that it will matter, because I don't really plan on coding objective-c++ any time soon.
oh HELL yes i've been looking for something like this
thank you for individually going through each aspect of the code and explaining the parameters and such, i really was not getting that from my professor.
dude I don't know what this openGL means but I really need it!!!! I have a game that I would really like to play but every time I enter it, the game crashes on me a there is a big message saying ''GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem,,! Could u help me!
Awesome tut! possibly the best ive seen. (actually it definitely is.) Could you tell me the numbers representing the keyboard keys, at least for the alphabet? what would mouse1 be?
wow i went to your website and i loved the tuts, thanks, simply amazing, i was feadin g the book opengl super bible and i dint get it, but with your tuts i really understand what i'm doing, thank you so much.
Probably a linker problem. You need link the following files:
-lglut32 -lglu32 -lopengl32 -lwinmm -lgdi32 (the last two might not be needed, but I think they are needed on a Windows machine.) Let me know if you still have problems, I'll be glad to try and help.
Are you using Windows? If so, I would suggset getting Dev-C++. You can download the opengl and glut updates automatically, and it's linked for you.
I do not care what anyone says for starters but I thank you for posting these videos may God bless you tremendously! Keep up the game design videos from this one I seen your doing great.
Thanks for making a opengl tutorial but the line return 0; will be reached when esc is pressed because that is how the program will know to return control back to windows. You could also use the macro EXIT_SUCCESS;
Well... C++ is a good language to develop hardware based applications. For everything else, it's utterly terrible syntax, outdated techniques (preprocessor) etc are simply not excuseable anymore. The speed is a good point in C++, but for many applications it's utterly unneeded. E.g. in Python you can do almost everything in a high level language, while still maintaining high speed by implementing expensive functions in C++.
@narutofan9999 I think that's just a matter of perspective. If you're working with low-level functions, I find C++ is a great language - like you said about hardware based applications. If you're trying to develop simpler programs that don't have such complexity, then yes, something like Python may be more appropriate. I find that C++ was designed to handle both simple and more complicated low level applications, so of course the syntax has a..."little more to it",
Well... "Terrible" syntax is maybe a bit exaggerated. I am using it myself after all. What I mean is that if you don't pay attention, you can create hardly readible code. And yeah, I am pretty sure that C was created to give access to low level functions with a relatively high level language (If I remember this right, it was something about the original creators of UNIX being unwilling to write the system in assembly).
You obviously don't understand it. OpenGL isn't some graphics program. It's a library which consists of a number of procedures/functions which are used to display graphics. OpenGL in itself is a standard. And it exists since roughly ten years (a bit longer), and has been constantly developed further.
@narutofan9999 LOL OpenGL is quite older then 10 years. I played games 13 years ago that used OpenGL 1.0 and a graphic card that supported it and the game looked amazing compared to the software rendering. It was already mainstream for a while, so the card was kinda cheap also Diamond Multimedia Stealth series was a thing of beauty. Still got my Stealth 3 PCI in an old PC <3
If you aren't a programmer, specifically a graphics programmer, chances are you aren't going to need to know how OpenGL (or any other graphics API for that matter) works. Though you'd probably still have to deal with the technical implications, like how many textures can be used at once and stuff like that... I say probably cause I am not working in this field, so I can't say for sure.
what I didnt really appreciate in these tutorials about
OpenGl; Is that there is no explanation of how those vertices are drawn, you cant just say "this is 3 float numbers aaaaand thats it"
You can forexample say this number: "1.0f" is a vertex drawn "X" pixels into, out of or left of the screen. and then the second coordinate of the vertex is drawn.. I dont understand that vertex call and 3 float nrs at all actually when I think about it..
@XxPouringRedRainxX You're very welcome! Just remember, that's what std means in programming, not in the "real world", so long as you don't get those two mixed up, you'll be totally alright!
well I know that, but first I need to improve my c++, and Doom 3 was created by a team of professionals, not a bunch of newbies. You should also look at directx, it is used in games too.
I use microsoft's visual c++ 2008 express edition, not Code::Blocks. I'm not sure how code blocks works, but if you want directx programming, you need the directx sdk. (dx9 for windows xp, dx10 for vista)
Whenever I try to install Visual C++ 2008, it can't. It just says "Installing: Attempt 1 of 5" then "Installing: Attempt 2 of 5" etc. etc. and it never works! D:
okay just download the installer, run it and make sure your operating system is up to date. Do you have windows xp? if you do just upgrade to service pack 1, if you have a lower version, don't upgrade if you have sp2 or sp3. Oh and download from microsoft's site ONLY.
Either my graphics card can handle it, or I have the right drivers for it. But either way, I'm sticking with DirectX 9. A model that will be rendered at 60 FPS in DX9 will run at 3 FPS in DX10.
The graphics API should not matter so long as you abstract it in your engine, I usually code for DX9/DX10/GL1.1/GL2/GL3 all at once. DX9 is nice, but it really begins to show its limit once you dig into DX10
omg, please, dont use and advertise necrosoft production in tutorials... People! OpenGL works fine on Linux too and we have Code::Blocks IDE, which is free and _opensource_ + crossplatfrom, so we can use it on windows too...
guys here's a tip to get visual studio, if your a student u can go to Microsoft website verify your a student and then it will let u download for free but u gotta send in a form of student id it might have been a promo, and it could be over but i think its worth checking out. plz don't mark this as spam i posted this so it could be useful info to some1 that doesnt have 150$ to buy Microsoft visual studio
opengl or directx?
some people say that directx is better, is that true?
and they say opengl doesn't have tesselation, i wanna which is better . plz reply im still a noob at c++ :P

GLUT automatically calls exit(0); when you close the main window. Once you call glutMainLoop(); nothing after that line will get executed.
Also EXIT_SUCCESS evaluates to 0 on every platform I've ever developed on ;)

Thanks! I've been going around for years wondering wether it was Sexually Transmitted Diseases or standard but now I know!

@XxPouringRedRainxX You're very welcome! Just remember, that's what std means in programming, not in the "real world", so long as you don't get those two mixed up, you'll be totally alright!

can you create a fps with this?
spartasoldier300 3 years ago
Yeah you can. In fact, the video game Doom 3 was created with this!
Zatar963 2 years ago
well I know that, but first I need to improve my c++, and Doom 3 was created by a team of professionals, not a bunch of newbies. You should also look at directx, it is used in games too.
spartasoldier300 2 years ago
Ooh. Does DirectX work with the Code::Blocks compiler?
Zatar963 2 years ago
I use microsoft's visual c++ 2008 express edition, not Code::Blocks. I'm not sure how code blocks works, but if you want directx programming, you need the directx sdk. (dx9 for windows xp, dx10 for vista)
spartasoldier300 2 years ago
Whenever I try to install Visual C++ 2008, it can't. It just says "Installing: Attempt 1 of 5" then "Installing: Attempt 2 of 5" etc. etc. and it never works! D:
Zatar963 2 years ago
okay just download the installer, run it and make sure your operating system is up to date. Do you have windows xp? if you do just upgrade to service pack 1, if you have a lower version, don't upgrade if you have sp2 or sp3. Oh and download from microsoft's site ONLY.
spartasoldier300 2 years ago
Make sure you have your antivirus turned off. It's firewall might be stopping the installer from downloading the needed files.

Weird... Just yesterday it successfully installed :D
Zatar963 2 years ago
What, DX10?
rsman222 2 years ago
No, Visual C++ 2008 Express.
Zatar963 2 years ago
Oh, good for you.
rsman222 2 years ago
DX9 for everything. DX10 is slow.
rsman222 2 years ago
can your computer even run dx10? My computercan't but if yours can then explain why.
spartasoldier300 2 years ago
Either my graphics card can handle it, or I have the right drivers for it. But either way, I'm sticking with DirectX 9. A model that will be rendered at 60 FPS in DX9 will run at 3 FPS in DX10.
rsman222 2 years ago
it would mean he has the proper device drivers and system requirements to run DX10. =/
Tarandarklord 2 years ago
Agreed. DX9 ftw
Tarandarklord 2 years ago
The graphics API should not matter so long as you abstract it in your engine, I usually code for DX9/DX10/GL1.1/GL2/GL3 all at once. DX9 is nice, but it really begins to show its limit once you dig into DX10
yourmomisrandom 2 years ago
I knew that, I was comparing DX9 to DX10, that's all. I prefer DX9 over DX10 when it comes to OpenGL.

omg, please, dont use and advertise necrosoft production in tutorials... People! OpenGL works fine on Linux too and we have Code::Blocks IDE, which is free and _opensource_ + crossplatfrom, so we can use it on windows too...

guys here's a tip to get visual studio, if your a student u can go to Microsoft website verify your a student and then it will let u download for free but u gotta send in a form of student id it might have been a promo, and it could be over but i think its worth checking out. plz don't mark this as spam i posted this so it could be useful info to some1 that doesnt have 150$ to buy Microsoft visual studio
soccergod561234 3 years ago

What compiler error do you get? You may want to see my other video on how to get OpenGL set up on Windows.
