Re: Shortcut to Graphics using G3D?

[Morgan McGuire]

I just stick to a stripped down "starter" app, but there's a "rawGL" sample as well if you want to go really minimalist.  OSWindow contains all of the event handling and RenderDevice does the OpenGL.

Hi again guys.

And thank you for the creation of the G3D project. I downloaded and
installed G3D two days ago (working fine by the way), not because I
wanted to be study 3D graphics in deep, but because I wanted an easy
shortcut to simple graphics and maybe later more powerful graphics
using VC++ with G3D.

For the past year I have been programming simple and also some more
advanced console applications and is having great fun with this.
However I am a bit stuck when the requirement is dictating graphics. I
have studied Windows API's and also made the demo programs using API's
that is descriped in VC++ tutorials however I find it not very
intuitive to change an already made console application to an
application which run in a graphical window. On this I can see from
the postings on the WWW that I am not alone.

So my question is: What would the most simple application look like
using G3D which creates a window which can receive input from the
keyboard and output text from the keyboard in the window and also save
the input in a string variable like this:

1. Create a 3DG Window and display it on screen ----> 2. Wait for
keyboard input char ----> 3.Display the char's in the 3DG window as
the user types --> 4. On enter make newline (write the original string
in a file) and repeat with 2. ---> 5. on escape exit 3DG window.

(I know the small program above is not really using G3D to its
extent).

Kind Regards

Kurt.
