The first thing you will have to do is build a project in Visual C++. I'll start this tutorial by jumping right into the code. Thanks to Fredric Echols for his modifications to the code! There should be no memory leaks, and the code is easy to read and easy to modify. All my tutorials will be based on this code! I wrote the code to be flexible, and powerful at the same time. The code is very flexible and can be used for all your OpenGL projects. The window can be windowed or fullscreen, any size you want, any resolution you want, and any color depth you want. This tutorial will teach you how to set up an OpenGL window. This tutorial was completely rewritten January 2000. If you're a hardcore OpenGL programmer, my site may be too simplistic, but if you're just starting out, I feel my site has a lot to offer! My site is just one of many sites offering OpenGL tutorials. I try to keep my code simple (no MFC code to learn)! An absolute newbie to both Visual C++ and OpenGL should be able to go through the code, and have a pretty good idea of what's going on. In each of my tutorials I try to explain, in as much detail as humanly possible, what each line of code is doing.
I created this web site so that people interested in learning OpenGL would have a place to come if they needed help. I found that those people that understood OpenGL considered themselves elite, and had no interest in sharing their knowledge. I spent hours trying to make code work and even more time begging people for help in email and on IRC. Unfortunately, it was very hard to find any information about OpenGL in books or on the net. Immediately I knew OpenGL was something I had to learn. I am an average guy with a passion for OpenGL! The first time I heard about OpenGL was back when 3Dfx released their Hardware accelerated OpenGL driver for the Voodoo 1 card.
