I was wondering if someone could clear up a few questions I've got about OpenGL, or at least point me in the right direction.
First - what's with the different API versions 1.4, 1.5, 2.0, 2.1
I'm under the assumption that you would wan the latest version?
Second - How would you go about getting it? (SDK?)
It's just libs and header files if I'm correct so is there a place to download
them (the/a SDK)?
Lastly - besides GLUT and GLU are there other toolkits/extensions that are
commonly used?
I've spent quite a bit of time scouring the web (including the OGL and SiliconGraphics websites) trying to understand this but . . .
I know these question may seem ridiculous to some of you, I just wanted some clarification and needed to know if OpenGL is wort my while. Thanks.
