Talk:OpenGL

This task really needs local hosting of the image in question. I'll work on enabling that sometime later today.--Short Circuit 03:19, 7 October 2007 (MDT)

Took me longer than expected, but it is done. See the resident bureaucrats if you need an image uploaded. --Short Circuit 22:25, 9 October 2007 (MDT)

Also, this task should be genericized, to allow the use of either OpenGL, Direct3D, or any other 3D drawing API. I'd like to see 3D graphics get their own section under Category:Solutions by Programming Task, and this page get renamed to "Create a poly" or some such. --Short Circuit 12:21, 8 October 2007 (MDT)

Another item: The C example appears to create a managed window, which goes slightly beyond the bounds of the task. Considering that such steps may be necessary for some languages, it should be mentioned in the example preamble. --Short Circuit 12:21, 8 October 2007 (MDT)

Go entry broken

It seems "github.com/mewmew/glfw/win" has not been updated in 5 years, matching when the Go sample was last modified. My suspicion is that glfw has been updated meanwhile and now split into 3.0/3.1/3.2 or something like that. I tried replacing "github.com/go-gl/glfw3" with "github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.2/glfw" in error.go, which seemed to help at least by (apparently) requiring the same change in events.go then win.go, but that was as far as I got before it all collapsed with a plethora of new errors. --Pete Lomax (talk) 16:47, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Pete. Although I didn't write the original, I've managed to fix it (at least on my Ubuntu 16.04 box) by using the newer 'GLFW 3.2 for Go' library. When I have time, I'll see if it works on Windows 10 as well.--PureFox (talk) 20:20, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
