Hey, I think alot of ppl comes here with no C skills. I have learned alot about opengl here so I like the site but not all the code. You use way to much global variables for exampel. Its not good to learn new C coders declare all their variables as global. It dosent matter for ppl already know C, but I guess alot of ppl dont. /asm0

Hey, mstr Asm0, He''s trying to learn those people OPENGL,
not C!

Right, this site is for OpenGL, not C or C++. There are many many
good sites on C if that''s what you are looking for. Just do a search on the net!

I think everyone needs to give the damn guy a break. He is busting his ass trying to have a good OpenGL site, he has problems with real life, I mean come on people. The guy is trying to be helpful and get more people into OpenGL. I personally suck at it so I find his site interesting and very helpful.

If you people don''t like it, go somewhere else or start you page eh?

Asm0 has a good point, I am aware globals are bad to use, and I should probably work on cleaning them up, if I ever get the new basecode out, there shouldn''t be many if any globals.

Well, this msg wasent mean to harm anyone, Nehe asked for help and I told him some. And to richardve and Roach... I think it could be a good idé to skip all those global variables, but sure, fine for me if you want newbies to start coding with a bounch of globals

Asm0,
No offence, I too am a newbie, but like I said before, this is a personal website which NeHe runs and runs quite will. This is for
OpenGL and not C or C++. Nehe''s code does have some global variables, and globel variables have there problems, but when you are writing code in your spare time, just trying to get stuff to work, you cut corners. The toutorals are suppose to teach the concepts of OpenGL and not to teach good programing standards. If you are looking to gain good C or C++ skills there are some great books and websites out there, but if you are looking for a place to learn the CONCEPTS of OpenGL, there is no better place then here!
If Nehe checked every memory leak and really went through a through design process before he started programing, I bet there would hardly be any toutorals due to lack of time. Coding C or C++(or any language) corectly takes a very long time, even if you have experence in doing it.

I do not mean to sound so hostile, but Nehe cant teach us everything!!

Thanks
Roach

I know, but the time that takes to change from global variables to local isent that much of a deal. I know that NeHe runs this site well, but he asked and I gaved him a god respond. I have never bitched on nehe, and i will not never do. This was for helping NeHe, but you dosent seem to understand that. Sorry if I tried to help the newbies out there, wont do it again ;/

Sorry, sorry, sorry, it''s always good to get some positive comments, I thought this one wasn''t positive.

sorry, sorry, sorry!
