   Alternative for GLUT
  HelloI'm starting to study OpenGL. But i've heard that GLUT is somewhat dead/unstable?So i'm asking here is there any good alternatives for GLUT out there? Wich are you using in your projects etc?   
  freeglut is a open source and supported clone of glut but glfw and sdl/opengl are good too   ;  I use GLFW and freeglut when I have to.   ;Quote:But i've heard that GLUT is somewhat dead/unstable?Yeah, essentially, you don’t want to be relying on that anymore. GLUT isn’t a part of OpenGL. More like, a long time ago, someone wrote up GLUT, and because it was so useful, it was kept around and people used it. You can look up details on GLUT online, but in summary, if you use GLUT now, be prepared to wean yourself of off it later on. You could also spend a lot of upfront time learning to do what GLUT essentially does, on your own. You’ll complicate your OpenGL learning in the beginning, so there’s that tradeoff. As mentioned, freeglut is there for you to use.Quote: So i'm asking here is there any good alternatives for GLUT out there? Wich are you using in your projects etc?SDL is probably the big choice. People are recommending GLFW a lot lately, and you’ll get what you need from that as well.;  Yeah either SDL or GLFW is a good choice.  The difference is that SDL includes a bit more like audio and software rendering capabilities whereas GLFW is more minimalistic.   ;  If you're developing non-commercial applications, you could use Qt for free.  They do have an OpenGL widget, which is kind of nice.
