Examples archives content and urls (download *here*)

[hitchhikr]

The goal is to make these archives to grow according to the questions that may be asked here, so people can see concretly how things can be implemented, the sub-forum itself will serve for the explanations of the examples (& questions that may arise).

So far, the archives contain:

---------------------------------------------------------

- Simple_Texture
  How to display a textured object.

- Skybox_And_Camera
  How to create a skybox & setup a simple camera.

- Specular_Material
  How to use shining material.

- Sphere_Mapping_Texture
  How to use the builtin textures coordinates generation.

- Spot_Light
  How to use spot lighting.

- Sprites_Animations
  Animations & collisions of 2d sprites.

- Sprites_Collisions
  How to handle collisions between 2d sprites.

- Text_2D
  How to display a text in 2d.

- Text_3D
  How to display a text in 3d.

- Text_Bitmap_2D
  How to display a text in 2d with bitmap fonts stored in textures.

- Texture_Matrix
  How to rotate/translate/scale a texture used on an object.

- Vertex_Array_And_WaveFront_Obj
  How to use vertex arrays and how to load wavefront 3d objects.

- Vertex_Shader_Simple
  Modifying vertices and calculating some lighting with vertex shaders.

---------------------------------------------------------

This will grow with time, of course, so stay tuned for more.

The archive is organized as follow:

- Examples/*
- Each example have it's own directory + 2 batch files.

- Examples/Bin
  Contains the assembled executables files.

- Examples/Common_Src
  Contains the framework & the support routine (such as pictures loading, etc).

- Examples/Include
  Contains the translation into asm of the latest (?) opengl definitions to replace the 
  opengl32.inc of masm32, they're mandatory for any serious opengl related work
  + some other ones.

- Examples/Lib
  Contains the required static libraries.

- Media
  Contains pictures & other misc. datas that'll be necessary for the examples to run.

-------------------

The sourcecodes of each example have been reduced to the minimum & are structured as is:

- Initialize:
  Make all necessary initializations.

- Deinitialize
  Free allocated resources.

- Update
  Perform any animations.

- Draw
  Draw the stuff on screen.

All the rest is located in the framework which deals with the handling of the windows & other details, i use several home made macros to make the things a little bit more compact.
