OpenGL SuperBible

[BOMBERMAN]

hey everybody!

I want to know why should I buy the OpenGL SuperBible, or why I should not. Post YOUR opinion! Thanks

That's the exact book that I used. But I don't know your experience level. Do you have any idea what you're doing with C++ or SDL?

yes, i do know how to use C++, and i'm almost finishing reading the book "Focus on SDL".

Don't just read the book. Make a game or two (say, tic tac toe, pong, etc.). Then you should have enough experience (though I haven't really tried openGL yet ).

I've already programmed some games, including pong and some strange kind of space invaders. So... do I have enougth experience?

I'd say yes... It should be fine.

But even if it is too advanced, you can always hold onto it for later.

Don't forget the Orange book for GLSL when its time.

Isn't the ebook available online for free somewhere?

Anyway, there's a new version of OpenGL out, they may release a new SuperBible soon.


I have the book for a class, but I haven't read through it yet. Still just go to Nehe and Videotutorialsrock.com if I get stuck with some OpenGL stuff... :P
