openGL

hey coronites. So i heard openGL is used for creating dynamic/original 2D, 3D images. Wanted to photoshop an internet pic but now i wanna give openGL a try. Tutorials on the internet are quite confusing. Please i need help with the installation, and tutorials on how to use openGL. Thanks.

You don’t have any direct control over OpenGL programming with Corona. Corona’s APIs work directly with OpenGL, so we don’t have the hassle.

Arguably it would be nice to have a little more low-level control, but certainly if you’re just starting out you don’t need to concern yourself with this.

hey SegaBoy…tnx for ur reply. I just wanna ask a question (though may sound a lil dumb…am a starter). I want to create an image but i don not want to use internet images. I am really lost, please reply.

@qabbi.xans,

If you’re still keen to learn about OpenGL as a separate learning experience, I suggest Neon Helium’s legacy tutorials here:
