Question

I want to do graphics program by OpenGL. But I don’t have any experienced in windows programming. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

See these links

• lazy foo tutorial for SDL to simplify some file and inputs handling
• SDL and OpenGL
• Kore engine uses Opengl and SDL and is open source
• Kore Engine wiki Some more info on the Kore Engine
• My own project using SDL and OPENGL host on Google code

Note that you’ll need to code in C++ with those links

EDIT:

I tried GLUT and SFML, and both are easier to use than SDL and OpenGL alone.

GLUT is pretty straightforward but is limited in its scope.

SFML brings the good things of SDL and OpenGL, but with a nice C++ interface instead of the old C interface of SDL and raw OpenGL calls (which are still possible to do). Big performance gain out of the box for the same project, SFML is just better optimized than my own code with SDL.
