Hello, I'm starting a series on how to program in OpenGL using the OpenGL Utility Toolkit,
a.k.a. GLUT. I chose GLUT because it is quick and easy to write, and very easy to learn. In this
tutorial I am going to teach you how to create a basic window which we will build off of in later
tutorials. Throughout the tutorial I will leave notes to let you know what each command does, and
how you can modify it to fit your needs. Everything in the code section can be copied and pasted
into your compiler and it should compile proporly, if it does not, please let me know, a...

Hello, in this tutorial we will be creating a 3D pyramid. We are building this tutorial from Lesson
3, but I took out the 2D objects and placed a 3D pyramid in there instead. The 3rd axis for drawing
can be a litle confusing, but after you get the hand of it you'll do fine. Now when you are
setting a 3D vertex just remember that the camera is on the positive end of the z axis. So things
that have a more positive z axis value are closer than verteces with a more negative value. Well
let's get started We always start by including the glut library CODE #i...

Well, I was going through a few posts on C / C++ on asta .. and found a very less C related
subjects. I went through the entire tutorial of mastercomputers >>HERE .. It was a nice
tutorial for guys who have a little knowledge of programming basics and want to go into hardcore
programming. Since there was no Basic overview of what C was, i thought of writing one /smile.gif"

write will be 100% accurate, but its human to error so please correct me if i am wrong. Let...

Conditional Branching By branching we imply, having different paths for execution.
Conditions are used to determine which statements need to be executed. Suppose, you have a program
to store the details of employees. Depending upon the post of the employee, there would be various
fields associated with it. A department head, for example, would have a property denoting the
department he heads, etc. We use conditional branching in such a scenario. C# provides the
following conditional constructs:- if .. else Syntax:- if ( ) { statements } else { statement...

I've been freelancing my PHP / Web skills for about 8 months now. It seems like every job I

The individual that hired me to be a tutor had hired another developer to set up the new Joomla

CSS, you can create a Joomla template with very little PHP knowledge. At first I...

Hi all, I have decided to do a major IT project on Visual Basic .Net 2005. I know some of the basics
and know what i'm doing. But i have come asking for some help in how to program with databases.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there that knows what they are doing and if they can help.
All I really need to do is to make the program read several different fields and open the as one
entry to be edited. and also to find a value in one of the entry's (like a search) and use other
entry's in that field to input into the program. Even if you could point...

Hey guys i'm posting here because i've a doubt, about 1 year ago i started to develop a
certain taste for programming, at first i tryed code Websites using Html ,then with php, then Mysql,
and at last all together. Now i alreday finished my hardware Reparation course, but that old taste
for programming is calling me to do other thing else besides repair hardware. Meanwhile i've
develop taste for other several kinds of languages and i'm a bit confused because i dont know
whitch programming language bring me future. So i wonder what programming language sha...

Object Oriented Programming Object Oriented Programming is a methodology modeled on real
life. It comprises of the basic unit, an object, being used in implementing a program. Think of all
the objects around you - cars, buses, birds, trees, etc. You will find countless ones of them,
everywhere you go. In order to tackle this huge number, we started classifying them, thus came the
term Class. Class A class is a composition of the theoretic characteristics (attributes and
properties) of an object and the things it can do - behaviors, methods and features. Tak...

There is an ongoing discussion about the nature of PHP that is taking place in the shoutbox, and I
think it should be moved into a topic in its own right. People seem to be divided into 3 camps.
Some people are saying things like: "but php is a programming language..." "it is a full-fledged
programming language; it's actually quite similar to c++, and also offers classes, which I
consider a powerful feature" Then again others are saying: "by official definition I would imagine,
I don't like thinking of it as one" "someone i know is making a php bnc, but in all...

Ok I usually would use Linux to program because there is a compiler (gcc), but I need to use Windows
to program for now because of a few unexplained reasons. I need to find a compiler for Windows that
will compile the C language. I have tried Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 but I find it to be way
too bulky and hard to use. The command-line compiler is similar to gcc I guess, and it creates
executable files for Windows, but the compiler in the actual program compiles C++ but not C for some
reason. And it will only compile files in projects, not standalone files. In my...

This tutorial demonstrates how to use texture filters and will let you see the differences of each
filter. I will also be introducing lighting into this tutorial. We first have to create our
"bitmap.h" header file with the functions we use to load our bitmaps, this is changed from the last
tutorial to fit the needs of this one. The first thing to do is to link all of our OpenGL libraries
and include our needed headers for the functions we will call. CODE #pragma comment(lib,
"opengl32.lib")//Link to the OpenGL libraries #pragma comment(lib, ...

In this tutorial I am going to talk about how to get animation in your program. I will be working
directly off of Lesson 2 and will now take out the notes left behind from Lesson 1, but I will leave
the notes from Lesson 2. CODE #include<glut.h>//include our glut library First we
are going to initialize a variable called "time" which will record how much time has passed so we
can use it to determine how to animate the objects. Then we have our init function that initializes
some stuff in GLUT CODE float time = 0;//(NEW) variable to recor...

Here is my problem, I want to create a modal dialog box (application modal) that has a keyboard

to I make a modal dialog box which has a keyboard accelerator assign to it?...

Lets start this thread and find out more about our coding roadmap! The first code I ever wrote
was on a BBC Micro Computer that came with its on embedded ROM-OS and ROM-BASIC - this was when I
was in my 5th grade (1990-91). It was pretty powerful for those times, offering decent 16-color
graphics and a powerful sound engine behind it (using normal computer speakers) - that PCs never
achieved. In about an year or so, I shifted over to PCs coz the lack of applications for the BBC
Micro was getting to me (all appz for it had to be either written in Assembly or that ...

I am at the start of my end year project, and i have decided that my front end would be in VB .NET
2003/2005 (havent decided the versions yet). Couldent really decide on the versions because i still

points, it could save me some search energy /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)"

Ok, I would like to start learning programming but I do not know where to start. For web designing,
I used to use Microsoft FrontPage 2000, that generated somewhat usable pages, but my first
experiences with HTML was learning from a book that I got from the library, then I ended up at
W3Schools , where I finished learning HTML and started other stuff, like CSS and PHP. For
programming however, my first experience was using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express edition,
creating a "Hello World!" program (the simplest thing), and then trying to use some free
tutorial b...

Hey all, I'm looking for someone who's got good experience in Graphics Programming
(Algorithmic Graphics as opposed to PhotoShop and the likes). I require someone who'd work with
me in a joint venture in running a graphics oriented site - that'd involve a lot of coding using
PHP's GD/Imagemagick libraries. However, experience in any other language (C++/C#/VB.NET with
GDI+) would do just fine... coz the same algorithms can be implemented in any given language with
just minor modifications. Cheers, m^e ...
