Using 3DExplorer

I beleive you need to call it up. See NeHe''s tutorials on display lists

IF YA SMELL... WHAT THE BEZZ IS COOKIN''''

I have not looked at the files that program makes but more than likely, its arranging the data for the use of Indexed Vertex Arrays. Its a nice technique and i use it whenever i can.

when you save as opengl.cpp, there is an option called "Export Type" at the top. set it to display list, and then it''ll provide a function you can use that will return an integer for you to call in your main loop.

If you want to see how to use it you can generate a sample app using the check box or for the array select "SAMPLE APP" on the dropdown menu

Open mouth, insert foot

OK, I made a sample app and then tried to compile it using a default workspace in MSVC++6: 22 errors. Then I added links to opengl32.lib and glu32.lib and reduced the number of compilation errors to 2. here is my latest error message:

--------------------Configuration: cherries - Win32 Debug-------------------- Linking... LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main Debug/cherries.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe. cherries.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Should i link in more libraries? if so, which one(s)?

Thanks

do you have your project set to a "win32 application" and not "win32 console" because i had the same errors and took me forever to figure it out

WOOOHOOOO!! Darkopengl, you''re the man! Apparently the "default workspace" MSVC++6 makes when you compile a lone cpp file is a Win32 console app, and as you said, you need a Win32 app in this case.

So, for all yer newbes out there like me, here is the project space you need to run a 3dexplorer opengl app, as well as the cherries.exe executable, just for laughs:

executable

source and workspace

(OK, I know, choosing 3dexplorers'' cherries may not have been the right example to display on a public site: strange pulsating pair of balls there...)

I think there''s an option there that says "Generate project workspace" you can just check that and worry about nothing
