Tux examples ???

Are you referring to Chman’s tutorials (http://chman-area.tuxfamily.org/)?
If so, they’re for version 0.6, which is the latest official build. 0.7 will be released soon - and for that I have portet the first 10 Nehe’s (chmans 0.6 -> 0.7).

0.7 will be released soon, probably this weekend - I just need to update some of the documents :o

Hi,

This Weekend , sounds good ;D
And were to get the first 10 Tutorials (ported) ?

Hi,

If i right this are only the Orgiginals ?

  • Jens

There’s a link at the bottom of each tutorial to a Java version. Actually, I’ve never check if these were for LWJGL, might be for GL4Java.

Have the creators of LWJGL considered writing tutorials that are specific to LWJGL? I know there are plenty of OpenGL tutorials out there, but it would really be helpful if the tutorials are taught in the language that the user wants to use it in, in this case Java. I think newbies (and I still do) would love to be able to skip all the creating windows crap, and LWJGL simplifies it.

And if not, I’d like to start creating a OpenGL tutorial specific to LWJGL/Java. Would anyone like to join me in writing this?

Hmm,

i was looking on hehe and the Doc are for JOGL. >:(

You’re right! They do have JOGL. But what about LWJGL? I still think LWJGL needs its own tutorials. Even in Nehe, although he gives sample code in other languages, the tutorial itself is still in C++.
