Why
is this page here?
I am a big advocate of OpenGL so I decided I would do my part to help programmers
who would like to learn OpenGL by posting simple tutorials on various subjects.
If you have an example that you would like to have posted please email
me and I will put it up. All examples are assumed to use the GLUT library, so
if you don't have it get the GLUT library and header here.

| Animate |
| A have seen a few people ask about how to have animations and such in OpenGL so I decided I would write up a simple example that one could build off of. This example is just a pulsing little yellow thing. I use textures to achieve the animation effect. Its a very simple thing to do. There is a binary and source code in the zip above. |
| Rotate |
| This example displays how to rotate an object about an axis or about its center. Very simple example with lots of comments. |
| Texture |
| This is about as simple of a texture mapping tutorial that you will get. The program loads "texture.tga" and displays it onto a quad. Very good for the beginner. |
| Cube |
| This is a simple cube, it rotates and has coloring at each vertex and shows how to switch between solid and wireframe. Also demonstrates simple camera placement. |
