Sample OpenGL Program

Here is a small sample OpenGL program along with a Makefile for getting started with OpenGL either on the University of Maryland WAM or Glue lab Sun workstations, the Computer Science Department Junkfood lab machines, or with a PC running Microsoft Visual C++.

The C++ source code sample.cpp for the program.
The directory SampleVisualCPP contains the project files for Visual C++. It contains:
- A ReadMe file, which contains information on how to install OpenGL, Glu, and GLUT on a PC and how to create a console application that uses OpenGL and GLUT.
- The SampleVisualCPP.sln Visual C++ solution file for the program.

All the files can be downloaded as a bundle by holding SHIFT and then left clicking on this link
