Hi guys , First , sorry for my english , it s not my language , and i was not a good student .... i discover NeHe''s site today ... it s wonderfull... i start my lesson now ... :-) In fact , i m a newbie in graphics (not only there :-) ), i m looking for some help. Like i said, i ll learn how to do ... , but i would be able to create a small application for my personnal usage now. I would know if it s possible to send text in OPENGL game , like Half-Life / Quake or other ... I want to have a program with some alarm , that put text at the screen while i m playing. I ve got no problem to handle event i need , phone , Mail .... I ve try to use standart Windows API (BitBlt) but the text is flashing and it s impossible for me to read what i send ... So , if someone has time to spent , i would be happy to have a little example that i can modify for my purpose. thx.
