Thread: Where do I start? Learning computer language

I know what DirectX is. Technically speaking OpenGL is a package too. When most programmers say that their program uses OpenGL" they usually mean gl.h, glu.h and glut.h, usually OpenAL too. It's not quite as modulated as DirectX, but still a nice package. I wish we had something like DirectDraw

It uses DirectX on Windows? That's strange considering that OpenGL has been (mostly) ported to Windows and completely if you use MESA. It looks like it only supports DirectX9 though. Bad news since DirectX 10 has little to none backwards compatibility.

Looks useful though, I might have to look at it closer once I get some free time. I never found OpenGL all that difficult for most things, but things like buffer manipulation is a pain in the ass sometimes. Hence the reason that I want a DirectDraw
