using opengl for effects on a 2d game...

XFire666 · 2002-03-27T17:52:07

Greetings, i almost finished a little 2d puzzle game for LINUX and windows. Now that i am waiting for the last pictures, i thought i could add some nice looking opengl effects. I thought about water/wave or plasma effects, drawn over the playground/splash screen. The problem is that i have no idea where to start. I have a copy of the red book, but i am in need of some more specific information. Please post a reply if you have some usefull information or if know a good tutorial. Thanks in advance, Mike

Hi vincoof,
i found a demo on demonews.com that works exactly on that way. I''ll try to get it to work with sdl and direct draw this weekend.
And if i got it to work i maybe write a small concept for a tutorial that explains the background of the code.
Thanks for your support!

I am not a 100% sure, but I believe that if you are going to use SDL and OpenGL you cant use standard SDL surfaces and video functions, you have to use OGL for all your video needs, again, I am not 100% sure.
