Sorry, I just woke up. That was rather terse of me. :) This is an awesome egg, and I think it's very much needed. The glext egg never really got off the ground, and Chicken's existing GL library is sorrowfully lacking in modern features. Anyhow, thanks for the Egg! -Dan On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at

[Chicken-users] [ANN] New egg: opengl-glew

2014-04-13 Thread Alex Charlton
opengl-glew provides bindings to OpenGL’s core profile while handling extension loading with GLEW: https://github.com/AlexCharlton/chicken-opengl-glew There are two existing eggs that have some degree of overlap with this one. The opengl egg provides only the older fixed function pipeline API.
