Learn OpenGL is an online book to learn OpenGL programming. This repository holds my code for all the lessons. The tutorial uses C because OpenGL is written in C. I did the project in Go because I already know the syntax and the build tooling is much easier.
The go-gl project is used to provide Go bindings to the underlying C OpenGL libraries. If you want to run the code in this repository, follow this guide to ensure the OpenGL dependencies are installed.
main follows the main lesson plan. The root of the project follows the main lesson so running go run . will launch the last lesson of the tutorial, "Text Rendering".
The final project is the game Breakout from scratch. That can be run on main by doing go run ./breakout.
There are branches like hello-triangle-ex1 that contain solutions to exercises presented at the end of some chapters. hello-triangle-ex1 is the Exercise 1 solution for the "Hello Triangle" chapter.
screenshots holds snaps of the graphics at various points in the lesson.
