Introducing Regal...

[nigels]

Hello all,

We'd like to bring attention to our new, up and coming Open Source project -
aimed at making OpenGL a better development experience and improving the
portability of OpenGL code.

Some of the broader goals of Regal are:

• User-space OpenGL layer - use as much or as little as needed
• OpenGL 4.2 compatibility API
• Target desktop GL, core context, mobile platforms (ES)
• Debugging features such as logging, capture and state inspection

Current status:

• OpenGL 4.2 API completeness
• Emulation for fixed-function lighting, direct state access, immediate mode, push/pop attrib
• Application and driver call logging including input parameters
• An embedded HTTP server for interactive inspection (prototype stage)
• Some useful Regal-specific extensions for querying available extensions and so on
• Can be used as a drop-in opengl32.dll alternative, or a regal32.dll layer
• Supporting Windows x86/x64, Mac i686/x86_64, Linux x86/x86_64, iOS, Android
• Python code generator and API databases included - fix, extend fix or customize as needed

Comments, feedback or git forks are entirely welcome.

Hooray! I don't have any questions. ;-)

This seems to be a great thing to teach and learn OpenGL with. I might use it in a video tutorial series sometime.

Regal now supports OpenGL 4.3.
