18 of 20 students responded to this survey.

All students who responded can run OpenGL at home.

So, we will begin learning OpenGL in week-6.

Continue with lab-5 work on:
  • object definition
  • affine transformations
  • translation
  • rotation
  • scaling
  • object space vs screen space
  • physics using position, velocity, force





Get OpenGL working at home

1. Look at the laptop link on our main page.


2. Copy the opengl program files from Odin.

   located at /home/fac/gordon/p/3480/code/opengl/


3. Build the program with make. Run the program.

   You may try to run this program from Odin.

   You should also try to run the program locally.


4. Create a text file on Odin: /3480/5/opengl.txt

   Tell me in your text file...
      • Is your computer a Mac, PC, other?
      • Do you have the opengl.cpp program running?
      • What do you see when you run the program?

      Also answer these questions please

      • Does the program work when logged into Odin?

      • Does the program work when running locally?

      • If your OpenGL does not work now, will you get it working?
