OpenGL--help a newbie

SDL Development
1

Hey,

I’m trying to learn the SDL, and OpenGL, but the OpenGL Tutorial’s that =
SDL’s site points me to are way too generic. None of the examples use =
SDL headers or anything, so I was wondering if anyone could just send me =
a quick (basic) example of how to blit a white triangle or something =
onto the screen.

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

If you want to learn openGL… you will find a lots of links for tutorial’s on
http://www.gamedev.net

See those on NeHe Production (there is a link on gamedev), they’re good.

If you download the source code to the tutorials on the page, you’ll see
that they all compile with SDL:

Are you calling it on a valid surface after you have set a video mode?

A short code snippet might help.
