well homer...the sites work, but u need the compiler they use....i have borland (my skool uses that) so i need to enter different stuff....just opening a window takes like 30 lines of code, lol....but i shouldn't complain opengl will no doubt help me in the end |

that's a nice site catalyst...definitely can use some stuff from there, e.g. particle engine |

the particle system on codesampler.com dusn't work for some reason.....neone have ne ideas as to how to make it work? all it says is that GL_EXT_point_parameters extension was not found and then it closes.. |

that's cuz u got a shitty graphic card like me... =Þ that program needs a nvidia based graphic card to work since it uses some extentions that are only supported with that... but that doesn't mean u can't make a particle engine but the speed wont be as fast as the one using the extention... |

nvidia graphic cads are friggin awesome... they boost up rendering speed a friggin lot.. check this out : http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce4ti.html holy crap eh? here's something that would inspire u to learn opengl... this picture is being redered in realtime 15.000.000 Polygons per second on a P IV 1.5 Ghz!!! 
and this one 18 million triangles per second!!!! 
Imagine the games of tommorow!!! |
