that would work to...i tried doing that with nehe''s glPrint() i think it was...it would print it out fine but i couldnt seem to get it to print out values after ive drawn a cube or something to the display....

ok ok...ive heard so much about glut and sdl...are there any others i should know about? haha...

my problem now is that i went through like 15 of nehe''s tutorials and they all use the glaux.lib and i just read alot of bad things about the aux library...so, my question now is can nehe''s tutorials be used with sdl and glut?

oh...i forgot to ask...am i supposed to use glut AND sdl at the same time? or just pick one that i like the best?

and...what about the gl.h and glu.h...do i forget about them and not use them? ive been looking through the forums and i cant find much information on this...also i went to the sdl and glut pages and downloaded the dev files for them and installed them into vc6 but the tutorials i found on the sdl and glut pages really suck i need some high quality tutorials like nehe''s haha...

thanks for all the help guys (girls)...i really appreciate it...
