Getting started with OpenGL

C and C++ Grapics
In this lesson I shall introduce several functions and show you actual OpenGL rendering in a program. Prior to showing you the code, however, I want to go over a few things with you. This will give you a better understanding of what is going on when you do see the code, so you don't stare at the screen wondering what you're looking at. So, on with the show.

you'll be introduced to the wonderful world of OpenGL. OpenGL is a fairly straight forward -- although at many times confusing -- concept. OpenGL gives the programmer an interface with the graphics hardware. OpenGL is a low-level, widely supported modeling and rendering software package, available on all platforms. It can be used in a range of graphics applications, such as games, CAD design, or modeling (to name a few).

WGL and the Wiggle Functions
C and C++ / Grapics
The simple fact that OpenGL is only a graphics API means that any user interaction, or things like screen and window issues needs to be handled by the operating system. Most operating systems come with a set of extensions that tie OpenGL together with user interaction and window management. This tends to make our lives a little bit easier, but only if we know how to take advantage of this option. In Windows this set of functions are called the wiggle functions. Each of these functions is prefixed with wgl.

There are a number of tutorials available for the intermediate game programmer, but there are very few good tutorials for beginners who have never drawn a pixel on the screen. A quick search on the net reveals hundreds of sites devoted to 3D, polygons, texture- mapping and other advance topics, but the beginner has no where to get started. This tutorial is for C programmers who want to get an introduction to game programming.
