I have a couple questions before I begin programming in OpenGL.
I havn’t “updated” any OpenGL files or anything since the new version 2.1 and I’ve been searching for one. Do I have to upgrade my DLL or is the new version simply from the programming side of things? If so, then I assume I have to download some new OpenGL libraries if I want to program in it.
Also, when OpenGL 3.0 is released will it work on older hardware too? I have an IGP ATI card on a laptop.
Just to prevent an extra post, I’ll take the time to ask this other question here too. Is GLUT the best thing to use when making a OpenGL program? or is it/will it ever become obsolete? If so, what is the best utility (if there is one) to use?
