OpenGL-Starting-Place

OpenGL Starting Place, A Template to get started making opengl projects and assignments, Mostly using c code in cpp files

freeglut	glfw

There is a discussions available for this repo at https://github.com/tztz8/OpenGL-Starting-Place/discussions

When cloning this repo remember use --recursive flag (Visual Studio git clone does it by default)

If altered cloned use git submodule update --init --recursive

Systems I use for testing

I Used EWU Windows computers and My Manjaro Linux Computer and a VMware Windows for testing.

Note the systems have FreeGLUT, GLM, GLEW and, often have DevIL installed

On EWU Windows computers uses Visual Studio 2019

I do add GLSL language integration extension when I use school computer

On My Manjaro Linux computer I use CLion

I do have GLSL Support plugin, but the plugin does crash often but still works

On VMware Windows computers I use Visual Studio 2019

I do have GLSL language integration extension

Files

C and C++

Main.cpp

also in basicFreeGLUT main.cpp

The start of the program and most of the code will be done here.

Cube.cpp and Cube.h

also in basicFreeGLUT Cube.cpp and Cube.h

Has methods to set up cube and draw cube

OpenGL Shaders

Vertex Shader (shader.vert)

also in basicFreeGLUT shader.vert

Vertex shader (using GLSL Support Plugin on CLion and GLSL language integration extension on Visual Studio)

Called for each vertex

Fragment Shader (shader.frag)

also in basicFreeGLUT shader.frag

Fragment shader (using GLSL Support Plugin on CLion and GLSL language integration extension on Visual Studio)

Called for each pixel

CMake

Main Cmake file CMakeLists.txt

Set up the project, get libraries ready and finally call each excitable CMake File

basicGLFW CMakeLists.txt

Set up the excitable and link it to the libraries.

basicFreeGLUT CMakeLists.txt

Set up the excitable and link it to the libraries.

Nvidia GPU on Linux

To use Nvidia GPU insed of integrated GPU on Linux add

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1;
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia;

To environment variables
