In this short tutorial we will demonstrate how to do blending in OpenGL. You may notice in the final code we load two different textures: one background texture and one object texture (glass). The background will be a normal square. The cube will blended on top of it,...

To create a fire/explosion like effect we can use the same particle engine as in the previous tutorial (starfield) but we have to modify the code a little bit. All particles move upwards; in addition, every particle has to moves at a different speed, and start from the...

We introduce a simple particle engine. A particle engine can be used for many purposes in 3d graphics such as fire, explosions, lasers, stars and many other fun things! To make a particle engine, we need to have a particle set. The set consists of N elements...

Using the code given in the last tutorial, it is easy to create a cube font. We have altered the code to display letters, but used the same principle. Again, we have defined a matrix A of MxN but this time we have increased its with to fit...

We have extended the previous tutorial to draw a nice looking maze. We have defined a matrix A of NxM with the elements {0,1}. If an element is {1} a cube will be placed, if an element is {0} nothing will happen. Thus, we define the matrix as:...

In this tutorial we will explain to you how to make a textured cube using OpenGL and SDL. You will need to have the GNU C Compiler (short gcc) installed. Furthermore you of course need OpenGL and SDL installed. If you are on Ubuntu Linux you can use...
