Opengl 4.3 wall collision
You can start small and add features as your application needs itīe careful, if your goal is to write an app, this isn't the time to make a new GUI lib. I was inspired once after learning c# winforms to make an OpenGL GUI library with a similar inspired interface. You can make a lot of progress very fast. You should totally do it if you're curious. It's a fun and great learning exercise to write a GUI library in OpenGL. Since they're old enough to remember the days before hardware acceleration. I suspect Adobe and DAWs like AbletonLive probably use some kind of GUI library rather than implement direct to OpenGL. That said I have seen Qt rival the best web and mobile app designs. Maybe learn HTML dom and CSS to get an idea of state of the art of modern UI. wxWindows, Qt, c# WinForms, WPF (windows presentation framework). To optimize and do proper collision detection with mouse, and other fun tricks, it's nice to have an object representation in memory that you can traverse and query and manipulate. Immediate mode is interesting from a rendering point of view but how does this work for text boxes and other active elements that persists frame to frame to frame.

Which your application code can manipulate to update ( and get events from) with application changes Retained mode implies a scene graph, or some type of stored model representation of the scene - in your case a GUI. My assumption is that every reasonably complex GUI (like Adobe products, Digital Audio Workstations) use OpenGL to draw their UI. This type of things seems to be taught in school. My plan is so far to look at the nanoGUI library and just "jump in" but it would be great if there were such a tutorial.
#OPENGL 4.3 WALL COLLISION HOW TO#
Does anybody have any resources for how to get started doing this? There are no books nor tutorials to speak of that cover the topic of "GUI Programming with OpenGL" let alone ones that focus on the retained mode method. I am interested in creating a GUI using the retained mode GUI paradigm (again this has nothing to do with 90's era glBegin) but can not find any sources to help. There are many resources for how to develop an immediate mode UI system such as this talk which popularized the term IMGUI and this tutorial but I can't find any sources for the other paradigm. retained mode rendering but the paradigm by which state is stored in a UI. (Here not referring to the old immediate mode vs. In my research it seems like, when using a drawing library like OpenGL there are essentially two paradigms to use, immediate mode or retained mode.
In order to start this task I have done a fair amount of research into how various UIs are made by reading articles such as this one. beyond default button and bitmap image) UI. I am interested in programming my own complex (i.e.
