Post by epicasian »

I'm getting into OpenGL for my 2D game engine, and am in need of a good OpenGL or graphics theory book. If you guys have any recommendations, let me know. :mrgreen:

I have this book... Sadly the binding has completely torn from the pages, so I'm afraid to open it as of now... But I also have it in E-Book form :D
