I just started some opengl programming, it seems really ...humm... nice.

So is there any1 that I could ask if I have questions?

I like OpenGL, though i suck at it <IMG SRC="smileys/dead.gif"> 
Can point you towards a few useful resources though if you're interested.

Kewl I just bought an OpenGL book today, when I've finished reading it I'll surely have a bunch of questions <IMG SRC="smileys/biggrin.gif">

What is the name of the book? I'm trying to learn OpenGL also. Go to <A HREF="http://www.gamedev.net" TARGET=_blank>www.gamedev.net</A> and nehe.gamedev.net. That should help you out a lot.

I'm guessing that you'll want to look at all of the online documentation at <A HREF="http://www.opengl.org/developers/index.html," TARGET=_blank>http://www.opengl.org/developers/index.html,</A> too.

Damn, why didn't I remember this thread?! 
 
Ok, nehe.gamedev.net was one of the great sources...I also found: <A HREF="http://www.gametutorials.com/Tutorials/OpenGL/OpenGL_Pg1.htm" TARGET=_blank>http://www.gametutorials.com/Tutorials/OpenGL/OpenGL_Pg1.htm</A> 
That's really cool, too. 
 
The only problem is: all that's in C++ <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> 
 
The book I bought is called "Programming in OpenGL" <IMG SRC="smileys/biggrin.gif">

What language are you using, then? 
C/C++, Delphi, Borland, PASCAL? 
 
What language does the book talk about?

I am using Delphi, which basically is Pascal <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> 
 
But programming in OpenGL is nearly exactly the same on C++ and Delphi...that's the good news.

Kennung? What's wrong with C++? Don't want to work with the most "standard" tool used by "average" mortals? <IMG SRC="smileys/wink.gif">

Nah, but why should I learn C++, while I can program in Delphi and Java and can do exactly the same things with these languages as well? 
 
And as I said: The OpenGL commands on C++ are the same as on Delphi. 
 
So I see no problem there, since I don't want to develop Doom3 or so <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif">
