2D programing with OpenGL

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Hi,

Ive got a couple of years of C++ experiance now and ive tinkerd with HL/HL2 mods etc in the past and im looking to move on from that. Ive been looking for details about 2D programing using OpenGL for a few days now and there just dosent seem to be any resources anywhere!

Just wondering if there is anyone around who could perhaps point me in the right direction or atleast give me some tips?

Thanks,

Henry
