I've been trying to compile my glut programs in Windows 7 Professional (64bit) using MinGW in Code::Blocks. All of the .a, .dll and .h files are in the right places, but when I try to run the program...

Oh, that's... odd. I always thought computers would be completely accurate. So I guess the solution would just been to use a slightly lower number if I abosultely need it to be accurate?

But...

Hmmm... now I'm having a problem with my collision detection itself. My program makes a ball move up and down - when the ball reaches 0.9 or -0.9 on the y axis it reverses and goes the other way. The...

I don't think it's possible to create a program that can actually change the value to dog, as the value has already been set. You could consider creating a .txt file that can be read (and changed by...

Thanks so much, it's great to finally be able to move forward with my learning =D!

Here's my program. The floats x and y draw the ball at 0,0 as that is their constant values. gltranslatef then translates up 0.1 in the positive y direction every time the animation loop comes...

Hi,

I'm slowly working towards using my opengl knowledge to create a pong clone. If I've been reading right, I should move objects (ball in particular) around using gltranslatef.

The problems...

I've started OpenGL animation and I am trying to create a program that moves a dot up and down. It's meant to work by if functions, keeping track of when my variable for transformations (y axis) goes...

I can't seem to find a solid explanation of these anywhere. I understand that GL_PROJECTION is the default and does not need to be changed to draw a simple square. Yet I have heard that GL_MODELVIEW...

Yeah, here in the UK most programming books are £30+ - this is £15 new. So second hand for even less, I can't really go wrong can I? There's always the red book to fall back on (the old online...

Also, I would like to get a book (tutorial/guide - not reference) for OpenGL.

Does anyone have any experience with "OpenGL: A Primer" by Edward Angel? - It looks like what I'm looking for.
...

Hmmm I guess I'll go with GLUT for now then.

I'm trying hard to stay away from anything win32 api - Every single windows api tutorial I've followed has always had a "Don't worry about what this...

I've finally managed to get OpenGL working (yes! - OpenGL, C++ and Glut – Using CodeBlocks and MinGW « Codie Code if anyone is interested).

Now I can't help noticing alot of anti-glut attitude -...

I use MSYS. Should I use cygwin instead?

Thanks for the advice on the file names, I've found all the equivalent files with 'lib' at the start and .a at the end of the file name.

So I have all...

I've decided to try again (after failing miserably last time) to get the files to be able to program OpenGL. When I asked over at the OpenGL forums about the files I needed, this was the response:
...

But how would you go about putting the image for a button on the screen? Or even turning the console into a window that could have more than text put in it?





I guess stalks don't like...

Just out of interest really, as I've never been able to picture in my mind how one would be made (Buttons, text boxes etc.).

Well I've done alot of C so I don't really know if there's an inbetween bit beetween learning C and learning OpenGL but I have to move on to something, so that's why I chose OpenGL. I've had a search...

Thing is, I hate using MSVC++ Express. It just seems over complicated to me when I just want to write basic code. So I need to find a place to download the headers and DLLs for C so I can learn.
...

Windows - I tried compiling an OpenGL basic application but it didn't recognise the headers or functions.

I thought learning OpenGL would be the hard bit, not downloading it. After many google searches, forum searches, Yahoo answers requests, I cannot find a download for just normal OpenGL. Surely it...

Thanks, missed that response for some reason :confused:

So there is a light... That was just the answer I was looking for.

Instead of spamming up the section with a new thread, while we are on topic - are there any books that really stand out in...

Is it possible to make games (In a C language preferrably) without drawing lines and vectors with opengl - but instead use sprites with images that have been drawn in photoshop?

Because many 2D...

I downloaded NSIS and had a look at it and its documentation. I'm really greatful for all the help you have given me with my problems, but I think I will stick with the windows API for now. It seems...
