Have anything about OpenGL? I haven't many good literature about this.

It's in the first post.

Actually, I've been looking for several decent OpenGL and DirectX tutorials that're for free and available on the net, but they're hard to come across when they're not explaining it for one specific language.

Btw... can this thread be stickied? I keep having problems finding it whenever I need to be in it :whistle:

Here, a nice C tutorial:

LOL.... i'm NOT lying here, but in one class, a friend did that.. he was told to write "i will never disturb a class again" 150 times..
he did something like that, and with all of the class beeing a computer/programmer-class, he got away with it, after objections by the teacher was overruled BY the class... LOL... was hillarious.. and after that, well.. noone tried that on our class again..

now.. back from -session..

For OpenGL, I recommend http://NeHe.gamedev.net. For SDL, http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl...ls/gfxsdl/index is nice. Note that those are both game programming specific, and will require prior knowledge of the languages discussed (which is about any modern language you can name for the first, and C++ for the second.

I've said if before and I'll say it again :whistle:

Andrew Davidson's free Ebook about Java Game programming

This covers game programming topics using Java3D (which is not the best 3D Api, JOGL is better and for games I'd still recommend LWJGL but the game-setup and programming techniques can be used with any API). It's self-published in the same way as Bruce Eckels books and it's pretty good. It's no getting to know Java book, but once you now a little OOP and Java it's pretty readable. k:

Will add them later today (when I've had my cup of coffee... fuzzy head means bad editing) And yeah, I've heard that LWJGL (keep having trouble remembering the exact abbriviation ) is the best graphical library out there for Java, and that AGP (or whatever that other one's called) is conciderably slower.

[Kon-Tiki]

Took longer than expected to get around to add them. They're added nonetheless (and I must say... it'll be studying time after the exams... this time studying something that'll be useful, not some overdone maths )

Now that I actually need to program something, this thread has come in really handy.. thanks, guys!

Out of all programming languages , which is easiest to learn for a beginner?

[Havell]

Got to be basic, can be learn in about 5 minutes (really). Olny problem is that it's not to powerful, it's good to teach you how programming and computers work though.
