Hi again -- I'm far from an expert on data types in Ruby (it can make you a little lazy in some respects, I guess!), but the pack command there packs an array into a binary string.
The "C*"...

Sorry, that should read:


image = []
1024.times{ image += [255, 0, 0, 255] }
GL.RasterPos( 0, 0 )
GL.DrawPixels(
32,
32,
GL::RGBA,

Hi -- I've been having a play, & I reckon a Ruby version of this could be:

image = []
1024.times{ image += [255, 0, 0, 255] }
GL.RasterPos( 0, 0 )
GL.DrawPixels(
CheckImageWidth,
...

Thanks very much for that -- I shall get on w/ working it in Ruby & let you know how it goes!
I note that there is member rating on this board -- does this mean I can rate replies as a way of saying...

Hi -- this is kind of a repost, to make what I was asking a little clearer!
I need to create, dynamically, some images that I will use to represent creatures in a 2D game I've written.
I've read...

Hallo -- I'm trying to write a graphical interface for a little alife program with OpenGL (in Ruby, as it happens, but that's not the issue.)
I need to create a series of bitmaps (or images, in the...

Johnstonsk - you mentioned a component for BCB & OpenGL?
Could you post a link to this?

Hi.
Does anyone have any links to any good tutorials on OOP coding with OpenGL?
Or any handy hints?
It'd be good to have an idea of the kinds of classes & hierarchies that other programmers have...

Yeah - cheers, man.
I'll only use them for major problems - good to hear a cautionary voice, nonetheless, cuz I have a lazy reflex like you wouldn't believe.
Cheers,
Doug.

Thanks alot, man - I'll get using them, then!
Cheers,
Doug.

Hallo.
Having only just recently got the hang of exceptions, I'm keen to utilise them, but I do know that there is some performance overhead associated w/ their use.
I don't know how much, though....

Wow!
That's half of any prices I checked out!
Thanks alot!

Thanks alot - I guess I might be saving up for a while, but that definately looks the ticket.
Cheers, man.

Thanks alot for all of that. I'm afraid my knowledge of hardware is seriously limited, and that's being generous to myself.
Could anyone recommend any particular nVidia card? I assume there's a...

Thanks alot - I'll have to double-check the hardware to be sure.
Is the nVidia card okay to run generally? I mean, with windows, too. It could be worth looking into, as the kinds of stuff I want to...

Hallo.
I will be using BCB6 with OpenGL whilst I'm learning the basics (which could be quite a while).
However, when I'm feeling rather more proficient, I'll not want to be as limited by my machine...

Thanks alot, Yohan - I just had a quick look, and it looks fantastic!

Hello.
I've just started using OpenGL (with BCB6), and wondered if there are any good links to articles that might help that anybody might share? I'm using a good book (the David Astle one on OpenGL...
