Re: [Pharo-users] OpenGLES2 binding available!

Anyway, implementing a Athens backend from scratch is a really hard problem, because paths can be concave, curve and self intersecting. Drawing a path, unlike drawing a triangle is a global operation, for which GPUs were not designed for. The easiest and most robust technique for drawing a

Re: [Pharo-users] OpenGLES2 binding available!

Hi thibault I took some times to look at your project. Nice. Now the GLW example is not working. I understand that this is a binding. I do not want to have to work that low level. I'm curious to see what people will be able to build on top of it. Stef Le 19/7/16 à 13:19, Thibault Raffai

Thanks for publishing it. I would love to see an athens back-end for it. Stef Le 19/7/16 à 13:19, Thibault Raffaillac a écrit : Hi all, My tiny binding for OpenGLES2 is ready :) http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ThibaultRaffaillac/OpenGLES2/ It takes a different direction than that of NBOpenGL.

Hi all, My tiny binding for OpenGLES2 is ready :) http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ThibaultRaffaillac/OpenGLES2/ It takes a different direction than that of NBOpenGL. I found the support for all versions of OpenGL overwhelming, both for beginners and to maintain. With a limited number of functions I
