How to generate water in opengl
Author
HI! Im kind of new to programming with opengl, but im very interested in learning it. While looking on the NeHe site i found an executable for a water wave project but there was no code
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/projects/project.asp?project=water
If it is possible could i please get a copy of the code in C++ so i can see what is going on. thanks in advance!!
The "projects" do not come with source nor the source is avaliable to the best of my knowledge :(.

Experiment with the code.

Probabally a mistype - for as long as I've been going to NeHe - I've seen it for about 3 years now, none of the projects have ever had source included on that side. i will check my old NeHe cd if I can find it, but I think that was just a typo in the page.
Edit: I checked my CD, they too do not even come with the source [sad]
Why can you not just texture some water unto lesson 11, thats what i did, works a treat.............unless you want something really snazzy of course

This is a great tutorial:

It applies in 2d space but can easily be manipulated for 3d space.

You could just draw a square, apply a texture, wait a few milliseconds, then replace it with another texture, and continue on. This procedure would be very similiar to how a film would generate movement.
Scroll down to the eighth project here
The example is in Delphi, but the theory of operation is very easy to understand.
Here is the code I derived from the Delphi source code in C++

Thanks Alot guys for all of your help! Hey, does anyone have an idea on how to create a grid, say a square and randomly generate points to move on each line in the grid randomly. Say for example the grid is on a (x,y) plain. I want to be able to randomly generate point on x randomly as each line x moves in the y direction. If anyone could help me try to visualize this in c++ code i would greatly appretiate it. Thanks!!
What you want to do is use a seeded noise function, where if you increase the seed by 1 each frame it would generate the water using sins&cosins

hey Thanks alot for the info. But, i have one question - where can i find info on the seeded noise function? Like a tutorial or something.
