Should I be reading tutorials on OpenGL before LWJGL?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I finally got LWJGL installed, but then I didn’t know what I was doing aside from copying code from the 3D Asteroids Coke and Code tutorial. I supposed I should check out the OpenGL Red Book and learning OpenGL before messing with LWJGL. What do you think?

#2

Yes!
LWJGL doesn’t give you anything so to speak, it just enables you to do stuff. You still have to know what to do :wink:

#3

Is the Red Book the best option? :]
I figure once I learn OpenGL, I can use it in any language, it won’t matter if I am doing Java now or some other language in the future!

#4

Try a bit of NeHe.

Cas :slight_smile:

#5

last time I ever tried nehe, it didnt work very wellw ith LWJGL :stuck_out_tongue:

#6

OpenGL is pretty much the same everywhere.

Instead of pointers you got buffer thingies. That’s about it.
