Try mmgr

(see www.flipcode.com''s ask midnight column. It is implemented in PortaLib at http://rsn.gamedev.net - its just an #include - and there is a FAQ there on how to use it).

PortaLib3D : A portable 3D game/demo libary for OpenGL

Hey,
I''m sure it is fully functional in PortaLib... I''ve read all your tutorials, most of which you seem to base off PortaLib ;-) But I, stubborn as I am, am forcing myself to learn it the hard way... guess work. :-) ( That''s more or less how I loaded the model, ''cause I didn''t have a reference off the file format handy... ). Animation, however, I''m nearly copying off of you... there was no way I could have guessed all the crap I had to do ;-)
Anyway... should I ever get something working, I''ll post some pretty pictures. :-D

I use Portalib as a reference for everything because it basically grew out of tutorials. It started out as a rewrite for NeHe''s base code. In the space of 5 days I had added the first model loader, fonts, textures, and window creation and it had outgrown that and I decided to launch it separately. Unforutunately, its been pretty slow since

Anyway, best of luck. No problem writing your own code for things - it is the best way to learn it. Use Portalib as a reference, and if you find yourself doing things not included, contribute it. Its really a toolkit, that''s all it was ever meant to be and ever will be.

Definitely try the memory manager. Paul Nettle''s articles explain it enough without needing to dig into my code
