Most basic OpenGL program ?
Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you could give some idea of REALLY basic programs to do with OpenGL ? I can build some nice pyramids and prisms lol
Thanks to everyone.
Build a window? Might as well learn that because that will be the basis of ALL of your programs.
I guess it's just like Win32 programming. You take a skeleton and then after a few days/weeks you can make your own. But for now I'd like to know if someone had an idea on a small application to make, nothing too hard. I can make simple forms and some 3D thingies like prisms and pyramids.

try making an opengl screensaver those are almost always impressive!

But again... what will it do ? I have no idea and not much knowledge in OpenGL.
1] make a robot out of cylinders, with arms, a body, a head from a sphere with a cone on top, legs, fingers and make them all move around relative to each other. Add some light to the scene.
2] make a small sphere bounce around the robot like a basketball
3] make a camera system to view that moving robot with the mouse and keyboard using euler rotations, quaternions etc.
4] post results here when done and we'll give you a more difficult project to work on
Conways game of life (cellular automota) (google it). A very simple project and a great way to get going as a beginner (it was my graphical hello world whenever I learnt a new language).
If you want a skeleton OpenGL App, there is one included in the DevC++ new project templates.
