arcball_camera

Single-header single-function C/C++ immediate-mode camera for your graphics demos

Just call arcball_camera_update once per frame.

OpenGL Example

openglexample

Below is a fully-functional example program that works using OpenGL.

Create a new Visual Studio project, drop this file in it, and it should just work.

#define ARCBALL_CAMERA_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "arcball_camera.h"

#include <Windows.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "OpenGL32.lib")
