What kind of games can I make with OpenGL ES?

In this book, you’ll learn how to build three different 2D games, including an OpenGL ES 2 Asteroids clone, and a multi-level retro platform game. On top of these two books, John has even been working on a website for game coding beginners with Java tutorials, information on game coding essentials, and he even has C++ tutorials in the pipeline.

How many commands are in the OpenGL interface?

This interface consists of about 150 distinct commands that you use to specify the objects and operations needed to produce interactive three-dimensional applications. OpenGL is designed as a streamlined, hardware-independent interface to be implemented on many different hardware platforms.

Where do I find the opengltutorials.sln file?

Open C:\\Users\\XYZ\\Projects\\OpenGLTutorials-build-Visual2010-32bits. You will see a Tutorials.sln file : open it with Visual Studio. In the Build menu, click Build All. Every tutorial and dependency will be compiled.

Where do I find the compiler in OpenGL?

In the second line, enter where you want all the compiler’s stuff to live. For instance, you can choose C:\\Users\\XYZ\\Projects\\OpenGLTutorials-build-Visual2017-64bits\\, or C:\\Users\\XYZ\\Projects\\OpenGLTutorials\\build\\Visual2017-32bits. Notice that it can be anywhere, not necessarily in the same folder.

Where to find glclearcolor function in OpenGL?
