Also I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and not have too much abstraction until quite further down the line, and even then I am thinking of a separate tutorial series for game engine architecture which would deal with a lot of the abstraction. I wanted my course to be quite linear in structure so someone can follow in one straight path.
I am inspired by other content creators (I can’t go without mentioning from and an Yan ‘ Chernikov from The Cherno youtube channel), so I want to spread my own insights as well in the hope it might inspire others. The way I explain things may be slightly different to someone else and that might help something click in someone’s mind. I myself learn best when there are multiple resources that all explains things slightly differently that I can cross reference and fill in any gaps in my understanding from one resource or another. There is no harm in there being another resource out there for people to learn from.This series differs from some other resources out there in that it focuses on totally modern OpenGL and skips to the most performant style and skips some legacy stuff. This is the tutorial I would have wanted when I was learning OpenGL.
Any piece of hardware or software is allowed to implement OpenGL to result in something that when you call those function, you get an image out the other end. All the OpenGL specification states are some functions and the expected behaviour they should invoke based upon a bunch of state. If you are not familiar with OpenGL, then it is a Graphics API (Application Programming Interface) that is a specification. I’m hoping that the reason that you are here is because you already know what OpenGL is and that you are looking for something a little bit different. For the first series of posts, we are going to be exploring OpenGL. OpenTK OpenGL OpenGLES GLES OpenAL OpenCL C# F#.

Made checking for OpenAL extensions not crash if the extension wasn't present. In particular this fixes an issue where the singular check was too aggressive in the SSE3 path.
Learn how to use OpenTK here: Sample projects that accompany the tutorial can be found here: We have a very active discord server, if you need help, want to help, or are just curious, come join us! įIX: Made it so that the singular check in `Matrix4.Invert` is the same between platforms. These are written by the community and represent all of the best practices to get you started. OpenTK comes with simple and easy to follow tutorials for learning *modern* OpenGL. It provides bindings for GLFW windowing, input and a game loop, and is the perfect start for your own game engine. It runs on all major platforms and powers hundreds of apps, games and scientific research. The Open Toolkit is set of fast, low-level C# bindings for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and OpenCL.
