Open GL

[0x4B47]

Hi group,
I am pretty amazed at the fact that there isn't a forum exclusive for the OpenGL API programmers. As this is a C++ forum and OGL is mainly used with C++, are there people here that are OGL programmers??

I would guess that most people using VC++ these days are using DirectX. If you don't get any responses here try the Unix forum: forum208

I use OpenGl with Visual C++. The primary on-ine reference is the opengl site (not specific to visual c++ but much of the info is). I would like to find a site dedicated to programmers who refuse to use MFC.

I use OpenGL with VC++ as well. Here are two sites I have found very usefull:

http://nehe.gamedev.net/

http://www.gametutorials.com/Tutorials/opengl/OpenGL_Pg1.htm

I'm Pretty sure they dont use MFC.

Hello im having problems playing any game that is open gl compatible, i
have a geforce2 card, and its says its open gl compatible? So i cant
figure out why i cant play them. Please help!

It would help if you told us what type of error message your getting. Sometimes after the game is installed you might have to go into the option screen and select your card to OpenGL as its usually set to D3D (DirectX).

Even though your card maybe OGL compatible, its best to install the runtime version of DirectX 9.0. Most games use this anyway and u dont have to configure it once its installed. All u have to do is install the game and play!

If you guys want an OGL specific forum (as opposed to an MFC implementation of OGL, can't you just create one ?) I am sure theres the option to create a new group in Tek-tips somewhere
