In my quest to learn about OpenGL I've come across tons of examples, most of them out-dated. This seems to be the case for a lot of the JOGL examples I've found. This repo has been setup with the following goals in mind:
- Use Maven to handle dependencies to ensure that the examples compile with the latest JOGL libs
- Prefer NEWT over Swing/AWT
- Use the most recent GL Profile available to Linux, Windows and Mac (Mac OS X support being the hold up)
- Over time replace all GL2 examples with GL3/GL4 equivalent.
- Keep the code readable (see Clean Code by Robert C. Martin)
Even on OSX Mavericks (in which GLview states 4.1 is available) GL 2.1 is the latest profile available in JOGL
There will be demos by various authors. I will ensure that @author comments remain in the code. There will be changes from the originals.
As mentioned above, Maven is used to handle dependencies so you should ensure it's available on your system. I recommend using Intellij IDEA to open the project via the pom file.
