VIA RAID ; C++ OpenGL

Posted by VigilantPsyche on April 5, 2008, 2:24 p.m.

Hello, peeps.

Since I got my laptop repaired its had a program called VIA RAID on it, now I looked into this a little and it turns out its for optimizing multilple HDs. So my question is: Can I safely remove this program? I think yes, beacause if I kill the proccess with task mgr nothing bad seems to happen but I thought I'd best check…

What else…

Ah yes, in other news, I be learning C++ with devC++. Having covered the basics I'm now looking into openGL, but I'm a little stuck as to how to install openGL and access its functionality…

Also, check out the easter egg in this vid; its hilarious:

Anyway, adieu…

Saturday, What a day,

Groovin' all week with you.

Goodbye grey sky, hello blue.

There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.

Feels so right, it can't be wrong.

Rockin' and rollin' all week long.

These Happy Days are your's and mine, Happy Days."

Why not try and learn PureBasic? It's not free, but it's pretty good.

Great info, thanks, pal. Also, how do I get a list of openGL functions?

Code::Blocks > Dev-C++

Compiler installations come with OpenGL. Include gl.h, link opengl32.a and begin. For functionality on Windows past version 1.1 use GLEE (http://elf-stone.com/glee.php)

Use GLUT for window management, GLUI for a user interface and GLU for extra stuff (GLU comes with GL).

After that you can use all the other Open*'s for stuff :)

OpenAL for sound

OpenIL (renamed to DevIL) for image management

OpenAI for AI

etc.
