making
an OpenGL program
To better examine how OpenGL works and to
demonstrate some of the simplest features that OpenGL provides, I have included an example
program:
example.exe
example.zip
pkunzip.exe
example directory
This is a self-extracting zip file which
should extract a folder called example which contains the following files:
- settest.exe
- back.raw
- bottom.raw
- front.raw
- left.raw
- right.raw
- top.raw
The settest.exe is the executable, and the
.raw files are the texture files for the cube in the executable.
This program will run on any Windows NT or
Windows 95 withthe opengl32.dll, and glu32.dll system files. These files are
standard on Windows NT v3.5+ and Windows 95 OSR 2.x.
Although relatively speaking, this is a
simple program, it was a large undertaking (I learned a great deal about OpenGL working on
it). Extensive code, advice, and general help was given by Scott Franke. For
more information on the people who helped me out, please visit the acknowledgements page.
