OpenGL

The videos below will help you get started with OpenGL. Examples are taken from Luke Benstead's Beginning OpenGL Game Programming, 2nd Ed.

Setting up an OpenGL project

See the robot_example project in Chapter 4's source code

Classes and Header Files

Based on the random_points_skeleton from the course page

OpenGL points (part 1)

Here we start looking at the OpenGL method calls in the random_points_skeleton project

OpenGL points (part 2)

Continuation of previous lecture.

Random Points Assignment

Correction

The ranges for the X, Y and Z values should be as follows:

      	// Let
	// X range from -3.5f to 3.5f
	// Y stay at 0.0f
	// Z range from -2.5f to 2.5f
