Why didn't I use XNA before, it's so nice to use :D Took about 15 minutes to get a teapot loading and drawing with a normal shader. Wonder if XNA 5.0 will be DirectX 10/11... Geometry shaders would be nice.[/QUOTE]
I doubt we will ever see XNA 5.0

I think its the fact he uses t and dt, also does it mean that every drawn object needs to be times by the accumulator?
[editline]6th May 2012[/editline]
Also started working on a little framework for OpenGL to wrap Image loading (via SOIL), window creation and input(via GLFW) and 3d maths(via GLM).
The result is this:
[cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include <soglf/BaseProgram.hpp>
#include <soglf/Window.hpp>
#include <soglf/WindowSettings.hpp>
using namespace SOGLF;
class Program : public BaseProgram
{
public:
Program(){}
~Program(){}
virtual bool Initialize()
{
///Init some stuff here
SOGLF::WindowSettingsClass::Settings.Title = "Test Window";
SOGLF::WindowSettingsClass::Settings.Width = 1024;
SOGLF::WindowSettingsClass::Settings.Height = 576;
SOGLF::WindowSettingsClass::Settings.OGLMajor = 2;
SOGLF::WindowSettingsClass::Settings.OGLMinor = 1;
///Initialize base class at the end
return BaseProgram::Initialize();
}
virtual bool LoadContent()
{
///Load content here
return true;
}
virtual void Update()
{
///Update stuff here
}
virtual void Draw()
{
SOGLF::WindowClass::Window.Clear();
///Draw stuff here
SOGLF::WindowClass::Window.Display();
}
};
int main()
{
Program p;
if(p.Initialize())
if(p.LoadContent())
p.Run();
return 0;
}
[/cpp]
It reminds me of a mishmash between XNA and SFML
Creating a (evil) programming language in Ruby for an assignment.

If you ever add numerical literal suffixes make sure you add MILLIONDOLLARS in the mix.

And the output (with debug token output):

It's not turing complete yet, but I've coded the interpreter and parser to be SUPER modular, so that I can throw in new shit very easily.
Something unique about Huxley is there is no concept of like an instruction pointer. There are only control words which manipulate the execution tree.
Hmm, arrays act like arrays up until you try to feed them to a function, then they suddenly just become a number of values.

Run.
This was the only thought in Nigey's head.
After the accident he had to go into hiding. He cut contact with all of Facepunch.
And yet, he still felt unsafe. As the global use of GeeUI increased, the young programmer feared the day he would have to implement it in his creations. So he fled. Grabbed a one-way ticket to the only place where he knew he would be safe. Brooklyn, NY.
Setting up for a new life was easy enough. Nigey became an assistant at some local company. He worked there for about two months when all hell broke loose. He was assigned to write some new piece of software. As he looked through the docs, he noticed something horrible. The project used GeeUI.
So Nigey just ran.
He traced him even here.
When Nigey got home, his apartment was trashed. He instantly knew what this meant.
So he just ran. He had no money for a taxi, and the closest police station was miles away.
It was already night, and the poor progreammer just kept running. He was being followed. He turned into a dark alley. It was a dead end.
He stood there, trying to open some maps on his phone. It was too late when he noticed that Geel was standing behind him.
Do you know the last words a programmer hears before they die?
Geel does.

Erm
I've been inadvertently learning some opengl in the whole opencl -> opengl interop thing
Is it just me, or is the whole concept of immediate mode (in terms of performance) obviously flawed? Pushing your vertices every frame to the graphics card is asking for performance issues.
Plus, it's difficult to find resources on opengl which aren't deprecated (ie immediate mode). The interface is ugly, and everything seems a little bit.. randomly named/functioning. I also dislike the fact that it works as a state machine, because that means having to unnecessarily bind and unbind textures and everything else everytime you think about using them, as well as all the matrices and etc that you might want to associate with them. It makes the code a complete, obtuse scattering of functions
The whole thing is a mess of deprecated and non deprecated functions. Someone needs to scrap all of it and go for a new, cleaner and much simpler standard
I would love to hear any counterarguments against any of my points. Perhaps i've missed a particularly helpful resource page, or maybe I haven't quite grasped something. But currently my opinion of OpenGL is that it is pretty awful

This is pretty much the reason DirectX is used more in the industry than OpenGL. That and somewhere between 2000 and now the guys in charge pretty much ignored developers over what it needed.

New Age OpenGL is great, but like you pointed out - it's hard to find resources that tell you about it.

Immediate mode is GL1, which is about equivalent to D3D8. I'm pretty sure the D3D8 API is not much better.
As dan says, new age OpenGL (3+, about equivalent to D3D10+) is much better.

There is always at least 1 question converting between binary and hexadecimal and stuff, I always guess and get it wrong erry time. Doing this as a self-study and I feel it would take too long and too much effort for just one question. If anybody feels like they can explain it to me easily I could post the question for you.
