Maybe this will be controversial, but OpenGL probably isn't something a novice programmer should be tackling.
- Klinky 15y agoMaybe I should have said "C novice". There are many savvy programmers who have only glanced at C/C++ code or have never touched the thing. C can be a bit of a culture shock when coming from a dynamic or managed language.
- TillE 15y agoI don't think it's unreasonable to say that basic familiarity with C is a prerequisite to low-level graphics programming. There's no time like the present to expand your knowledge. If you can't read C or assembly, you're missing out on quite a lot.
