So, it's sort of like GLUT was? (is?) I only messed around with 3D rendering a little back in the very early 2000's, but from what I remember, GLUT made everything much easier.
- electricslpnsld 8y agoI mainly see GLFW used as a modern, if somewhat more bare bones (no font rendering, no event loop, etc), variant of GLUT.
- skocznymroczny 8y agoYes, it's kind of like GLUT, although it covers fewer functionalities. It focuses only on abstracting the OS specific parts like keyboard/mouse input and window/graphics context creation. GLUT also offered things like rendering fonts, teapots and additional functionalities.
- Crinus 8y ago"is", as long as you consider FreeGLUT as being GLUT.
- klodolph 8y agoI would say that any time you are using GLUT for new projects, you really should be using GLFW or LibSDL instead.
