General Information about getting started
We will be using OpenGL, GLUT and GLSL to develop graphics applications in this class. You are welcome to use either C or C++ in conjunction with OpenGL and GLUT to write your programming assignments. A very useful site for information about OpenGL is: http://www.opengl.org/
If you would like to write your programs on your home machine, you will need to download GLUT. You can do so from a variety of places, including: http://www.xmission.com/~nate/glut.html
Or just search for "download glut" under google for other options and install instructions.
For a good list of generally useful graphics/game related links see: Resources compiled by past student Bob Somers
