Hey, i'm looking to set up OpenGL or directx, w/e is more current but i have read openGL is the wiser choice for just starting off. But i have no idea how to get it installed. I don't know if this is needed but i compile win32. I have visual studios 2005 installed. |

I do suggest OpenGL because it is supported on more platforms. You already found the correct topic before; just get the Platform SDK and set it up as described. Look up GLUT for an easy way to get started. |

SDL is much easier than GLUT. OpenGL should come with your compiler (I use minGW). You may want to use code::blocks. Just download code::blocks with minGW at the site. The automatic setup should take care of everything. |

If you're interested in opengl here is a link to a bunch of tutorials, free online textbooks and example code from a course i was TA for a couple semesters ago. http://physcomp1.wlu.ca/~hfan/cp411/07/cp41107.php |
