Congratulations to gamedev for taking a little more action. I started programming with NEHE's site back when he was still doing tuts before his mom had died, though I didn't use gamedev itself, rather only NEHE. In fact, I didn't ever click on the forum button or know about any of these forums things. I'm much farther advanced now, though I'm still new. I would try to help with the OpenGL stuff, but I've started higher level development with actual graphics engines instead, so I don't work low-level with a graphics API anymore. I can and will post answers where i know them though. Anyway. I'm glad NEHE wasn't extermitnated(the website) so the resourse is still a good link to learn OpenGL.
