   help with OpenGL
  Hello. Would someone be kind enough to tell me what to type OpenGL code on. Does it go on a C compiler, doesn't have it's own compiler or does it go on something completly different?   
  OpenGL provides a C API (and is written in C), so you can write OpenGL programs in C, C++, Python, Java... pretty much any language you want.   ;  OpenGL is an API. That means that it is a collection of functions, classes, enums, etc. that you call in your program. OpenGL is available for many languages. You 'type it in' the compiler of the language that you're working on. So, if you're using C++, you might put this in your program://Draw a triangleglBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);glVertex3f(1.0f,0.0f,-5.0f);glVertex3f(1.0f,1.0f,-5.0f);glVertex3f(0.0f,1.0f,-5.0f);glEnd();and compile it just like a regular C++ program. You will have to include the proper .h files and link to the proper libraries for this to work(plus initialization code).   ;  Huh. I suppose I should've asked here first before i spent a month searching the web for my answer.
