what''s glut???
how can i use it?
thanks
i''m newbie in this openGL.
I console application basically runs in a dos-text-like window. If you want to develop a Windows OpenGL use win32. You can then use the Win32 API to make a window...
GLUT is a library full of routines that allows you to do common tasks that you need for OpenGL, that arnt actually included in OpenGL directly, like windowing and keyboard/mouse inputs. It means you dont have to go to the trouble of learning the windows API to get a basic openGL running.
GLUT is restrictve, but for a novice it is a good idea to use it. I would suggest you start with a blank project, and use GLUT as a starting point.

Console applications have a little DOS box that pops up. Win32 doesn''t. Both can do Win32 API stuff.
