I'll say straight away that I literally only passed very light OpenGL. Still, I have a few absolutely basic things to post here.

The first program is completely primitive. Draws a triangle and a square in 2D, without texture.

Code: (Select All)
$Resize:On
Screen _NewImage(800, 600, 32)
Do While InKey$ <> Chr$(27)
    _Limit 20
Loop

Sub _GL
    _glViewport 0, 0, 800, 600
    _glMatrixMode _GL_PROJECTION '//                        set projection matrix
    _glLoadIdentity '             //                        Reset matrix
    _gluPerspective 45.0F, 800 / 600, 0.1F, 100.0F '        claculate perspective
    _glMatrixMode _GL_MODELVIEW '                           set matrix _GL_MODELVIEW
    _glLoadIdentity
    _glShadeModel _GL_SMOOTH '                              allow smooth shading
    _glClearColor 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.5F
    _glClearDepth 1.0F '                                    set depth buffer
    _glEnable _GL_DEPTH_TEST '                              allow depth testing
    _glDepthFunc _GL_LEQUAL '                               depth testing type
    _glHint _GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL_NICEST '    set the best projection correction
    _glClear _GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT: _glClear _GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT 'clear screen and depth buffer
    _glLoadIdentity '                                            matrix reset
    ' Sem kresli primitivy
    _glTranslatef -1.5F, 0.0F, -6.0F 'Shift to the left and to the depth - be careful, every other shift on the screen moves from the place where we moved before!
    _glBegin _GL_TRIANGLES '          Begin draw triangle
    _glVertex3f 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F '    upper point
    _glVertex3f -1.0F, -1.0F, 0.0F '  left bottom point
    _glVertex3f 1.0F, -1.0F, 0.0F '   right bottom point
    _glEnd '                          End draw triangle
    _glTranslatef 3.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F '  we will move in the x-axis by 1.5 to the center and 1.5 to the right, where we will paint a square
    _glBegin _GL_QUADS '              Square draw begin
    _glVertex3f -1.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F '   left upper point
    _glVertex3f 1.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F '    right upper point
    _glVertex3f 1.0F, -1.0F, 0.0F '   right bottom point
    _glVertex3f -1.0F, -1.0F, 0.0F '  left bottom point
    _glEnd '                          end draw square
End Sub

This source code shows how to draw a pyramid in color with blending colors on the walls, as well as how to draw a cube with walls of one color and how to rotate these objects.

If you rush into editing records in the DATA block, notice the way the bit position in the byte is written, what is shown on the left on the monitor is the first bit, i.e. the eighth from the left after the byte is broken down into bite and if we count from one. Also note that since the DATA block is for open GL, the line positions are read from end to begin, i.e. bottom to top. Ascii table with binary decomposition will come in handy for modification - next program.

This program will print out the hexadecimal and binary form of the values in an ascii table, so that a completely new character can be created by suitable composition.

For example - let's say I want to use a symbol that doesn't appear in the ascii table - I just want to draw a rectangle in the entire cell - that means set all the pixels on the edges to 1. The first one will be written 0xff - that's CHR 255, which is 11111111 in binary - so the entire bottom of the cell will be colored. Now I want to lighten the borders in the cell up to the penultimate row, so I'll choose 0x81, that's CHR 129, which is 10000001 in binary, so the left and right borders will be lit. I put that in there 14 times because the characters are 16 pixels tall. And in the last place, I insert the top line, again 0xff, to light up the entire row:

Do not forget that we read the data from the end, therefore only the last line in the DATA block was modified, therefore the rectangle appears immediately as the first character.

That tutorial is off to a GREAT start! I would love to see it finished so I can point my tutorial users to it.

I'm glad to hear that, your tutorial is worked out nicely and clearly, and a lot of details always come in handy. If you keep the format you started, it will be great.

Here is a sample - the first texture. I wrote a function for maximum simplification and I immediately solved the freeing of memory when the program was terminated, and I added an example with DisplayOrder to make it clear how the layers of the image are rendered one after the other.

Please use correct file name on row 34.

Code: (Select All)
Type GL_Loader
    PointerGL As Long
End Type
ReDim Shared GLL(0) As GL_Loader
Dim Shared GL_InitInfo As _Byte


_Title "Use texture!"
Screen _NewImage(600, 600, 32)

Dim Shared t 'bad solution, it is just for this use

_DisplayOrder _GLRender , _Software 'in background run OpenGL screen, in foreground run Software (QB64 standard) screen
Do

    Locate 1
    Print Time$
    _Limit 40
    If _Exit Then
        'if program end, this is step 2. Step 1 is in _GL Sub, in this place program just end.
        System
    End If
Loop








Sub _GL ()

   if t = 0 then t = LoadTexture("dum03.jpg") 'function load texture from valid file and return OpenGL Handle for this texture


    _glEnable _GL_TEXTURE_2D 'enable texture mapping

    _glClearColor 0, 0, 0, 1 'set color to solid black    - here it is in range 0 to 1 - in QB64 it is in range 0 to 255, so 0.5 here is the same as 127 in QB64
    _glClear _GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT

    _glBindTexture _GL_TEXTURE_2D, t '<--------------- this handle is used here
    _glBegin _GL_QUADS 'simply draw a quad

    _glTexCoord2f 0, 1
    _glVertex2f -0.5, 0.5 'top-left
    _glTexCoord2f 1, 1
    _glVertex2f 0.5, 0.5 'top-right
    _glTexCoord2f 1, 0
    _glVertex2f 0.5, -0.5 'bottom right
    _glTexCoord2f 0, 0
    _glVertex2f -0.5, -0.5 'bottom left

    _glEnd
    _glFlush

    If _Exit Then
        DeleteTexture t 'if program end, first free texture from memory, then exit from GL and return to main loop
        Exit Sub
    End If

End Sub

Sub GL_Init
    If GL_InitInfo = 0 Then
        _glViewport 0, 0, _Width, _Height
        GL_InitInfo = 1
    End If
End Sub


Sub DeleteTexture (nr As Long)
    For P = LBound(GLL) To UBound(GLL)
        If GLL(P).PointerGL = nr Then
            Dim DEL As Long
            DEL = GLL(P).PointerGL
            _glDeleteTextures 1, _Offset(DEL)
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Next
End Sub


Function LoadTexture (image As String)
    If GL_InitInfo = 0 Then GL_Init
    If _FileExists(image) Then

        tex& = _LoadImage(image$, 32)
        texinv& = _NewImage(_Width(tex&), _Height(tex&), 32)
        _PutImage (0, _Height(tex&) - 1)-(_Width(tex&) - 1, 0), tex&, texinv&
        _FreeImage tex&
        Dim Texture As Long
        _glGenTextures 1, _Offset(Texture) 'generate our texture handle    (reserve place in memory for new texture)
        _glBindTexture _GL_TEXTURE_2D, Texture 'select our texture handle  (set this texture for use)
        Dim m As _MEM
        m = _MemImage(texinv&)
        _glTexImage2D _GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, _GL_RGB, _Width(texinv&), _Height(texinv&), 0, _GL_BGRA_EXT, _GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, m.OFFSET

        U = UBound(GLL)
        GLL(U).PointerGL = Texture
        ReDim _Preserve GLL(U + 1) As GL_Loader

        _MemFree m

        _glTexParameteri _GL_TEXTURE_2D, _GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, _GL_REPEAT
        _glTexParameteri _GL_TEXTURE_2D, _GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, _GL_REPEAT

        'set out texture filtering
        _glTexParameteri _GL_TEXTURE_2D, _GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, _GL_NICEST 'for scaling up
        _glTexParameteri _GL_TEXTURE_2D, _GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, _GL_NEAREST 'for scaling down

    Else
        Print "LoadTexture Error: "; image$; " - file not found."
    End If
    LoadTexture = Texture
End Function

Another sample with texture - this time in combination with the colors from the previous examples. Texture and color gradient can be combined. I made an adjustment in the LoadTexture sub, because writing IF t = 0 Then... seems silly to me. So for now, I solved the memory leak protection so that if the program tries to load the same texture again (that is, a file with the same name) that already has a texture assigned, then the LoadTexture function returns the original handle to the already created texture, without recreated this texture as new in memory. I am aware that this solution will be a significant drag in complex programs, so I will think about an improvement. 

Code: (Select All)
Type GL_Loader
    PointerGL As Long
    TextureName As String
End Type
ReDim Shared GLL(0) As GL_Loader, t As Long
Dim Shared GL_InitInfo As _Byte
Dim Shared ExitSignal As _Byte

_Title "Use texture!"
Screen _NewImage(600, 600, 32)

_DisplayOrder _GLRender , _Software 'in background run OpenGL screen, in foreground run Software (QB64 standard) screen


Do
    Locate 1
    Print Time$

    If ExitSignal Then System

    _Limit 40
Loop

Sub _GL ()

    t = LoadTexture("dum03.jpg") 'function load texture from valid file and return OpenGL Handle for this texture,
    '                             if handle exists, return it and do not next.



    _glEnable _GL_TEXTURE_2D 'enable texture mapping

    _glClearColor 0, 0, 0, 1 'set color to solid black    - here it is in range 0 to 1 - in QB64 it is in range 0 to 255, so 0.5 here is the same as 127 in QB64
    _glClear _GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT

    _glBindTexture _GL_TEXTURE_2D, t '<--------------- this handle is used here
    _glBegin _GL_QUADS 'simply draw a quad

    _glTexCoord2f 0, 1
    _glColor3f 1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F
    _glVertex2f -0.5, 0.5 'top-left
    _glTexCoord2f 1, 1
    _glColor3f 0.0F, 0.5F, 0.0F
    _glVertex2f 0.5, 0.5 'top-right
    _glTexCoord2f 1, 0
    _glColor3f 1.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F
    _glVertex2f 0.5, -0.5 'bottom right
    _glTexCoord2f 0, 0
    _glColor3f 0.3F, 0.0F, 0.5F
    _glVertex2f -0.5, -0.5 'bottom left

    _glEnd
    _glFlush

    If _Exit Then
        DeleteTexture t 'if program end, first free texture from memory, then exit from GL and return to main loop
        _glClear _GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT
        ExitSignal = Not 0
        Exit Sub
    End If

End Sub

    If GL_InitInfo = 0 Then

Sub DeleteTexture (nr As Long)
    For P = LBound(GLL) To UBound(GLL)
        If GLL(P).PointerGL = nr Then
            Dim DEL As Long
            DEL = GLL(P).PointerGL
            _glDeleteTextures 1, _Offset(DEL)
            Exit Sub
        End If
    Next
End Sub


Function LoadTexture (image As String)
    If GL_InitInfo = 0 Then GL_Init
    If _FileExists(image) Then
        TT = 0
        Do Until TT = UBound(GLL)
            If GLL(TT).TextureName = image$ Then
                LoadTexture = GLL(TT).PointerGL 'prevent memory leak loading next and next texture again and angain...
                Exit Function
            End If
