Hi guys I want to move away from Text Game Programs and learn somthing a little more advanced now, like open GL so I can work with graphics.

But I have to questions..

Will it run ok on my system, I have WindowsXp and I use a combination of DevC++ and Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Beta 2.

My other question is that do I have to know Windows Programming to learn Open Gl, as most graphics are presented in a window format ont on DOS.

Any Help will be greatly appreiciated
