Best openGL tutorial I have found is at nehe.gamedev.net

And don't think you can jsut jump in on high tutorial's. If you can't set up an wo\indow without copying code your still nowhere.

We've been trying to help you ever since you started posting.

The program works exactly as Jeff Molefee (NeHe) described it.
http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons....asp?lesson=01

If you're having trouble understanding it, that's expected. You're trying to understand how to write games when you haven't really got past a simple console app yet.

I don't want to be rude, but don't come running here every time you have a problem with OpenGL. Relax and try to learn something easier.

Need level designers

Coders

HTML/SITE manager

And more if you would Like to support information on how to make A game please tell me

You should take the time to delve into this site http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html if you are interested in developing video games. Also, all of the advice given so far in response to your question(s) is prudent; you have to start simple, basic, then build upon each thing you learn.

Some perspective: I graduated after studying Software Engineering at university level. I am now employed in the programming industry. The point is, I still have questions, I still get stuck, lost, forget things, and I must search out help by researching on-line, reading tutorials, and talking with experts on certain, related matters. The learning never stops. Once you learn one thing, there are 10,000 other things to learn. Now imagine mastering each of these things learned! It takes countless hours and years. It really does not happen over night-- but learning a new, little thing about programming, definitions of related words, syntax, Computer Science topics in general can take place over night, one at a time. If you do not enjoy learning (or are not at the least open to hard studying for the sake of advancement) your dreams as a programmer beyond a hobbyist level may never be realized.

My advice: Choose one topic (such as C++). Choose an intoductory level within C++ and learn it. Then move on.

Wish your efforts well.
Regards.

Umm... a compiler? You might also need to download the OpenGL SDK to be able to compile/run the NeHe apps.

And by the way, if you're having problems getting the code from NeHe's tutorial to compile, you may want to download the Dev-C++ conversion.

Actually, OpenGL is included with with all current versions of Windows... if you think it's damaged or something, you can download it from Microsoft's website:
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...S/Opengl95.exe

But that's probably not the cause:
  1. Download the NeHe tutorial for Dev-C++ (link was in previous post).
  2. Click "compile". If it has errors, please post them here.
  3. If it compiles without errors, click "run". If it refuses to run, make sure you have the latest OpenGL drivers for your video card (provided by your video card manufacturer).
