I’m new to OpenGL and I want to know if I need to find libraries to be able to use it and if so, where to find them. I currently have Visual Studio 6 and the compilers that came with my linux install, and I’d like to give it a try. Please help me get startd. Thanks.
Personally, I’d suggest going with Linux, SDL, and buying a good book like the red book http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/books.html
or the OpenGL SuperBible. Also, the “Programming Linux Games” is a good one and is available online somewhere…
Thanks. I’ve played around a little with Direct X, but I’ve heard a good bit about Open GL as well so I want to play around with both. My main focus is windows right now, but eventually I want to be able to develop for both platforms. The windows tutorial will do for now though. Thanks for your help.
