<amz3>davexunit: what do you recommend to get started with opengl?
<daviid>amz3: gule-opengl :)
<amz3>I mean to say, which tutorial is good to learn opengl using guile-opengl
<mwette>amz3: you need to about architecture before coding, and that is very version dependent
<amz3>mwette: I don't understand, what is architecutre in this context? the hardward spec of my laptop
<amz3>?
<mwette>no: IIRC V4 uses a pipeline of transformations and uses triangles only; earlier versions uses rectangles etc and did not have a pipeline. Again, IIRC.
<mwette>I have OpenGL Programming Guide for V4.3 (and earlier version at work); it's like 800 pages
<amz3>oh
<amz3>I will read this https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/specs/gl/glspec21.pdf
<amz3>at least I will be able to say I read something useful in 2017
<amz3>kristofer is gone
<amz3>I have bad news
<amz3>I will reply the post on the mailling list
<amz3>tomorrow
<amz3>basically, I want to narrow the scope of guile-wiredtiger, to only be wiredtiger bindings
<amz3>so I will remove the toy databases that I have made
<amz3>and instead improve the bindings AND the documentation
<amz3>right now the documentation is the documentation of wiredtiger
<amz3>This doesn't mean I will stop using guile wiredtiger, just that it's too difficult to maitain multiple toy databases, also it's seems to me it's misleading
<amz3>I was under the impression, that the toy databases would form like a ladder of code that people will be able to read to be able to increase their knowledge of wiredtiger
<amz3>but this doesn't really happen
<amz3>It will be easier for me to write a good documentation
<amz3>even if wiredtiger official documentation is good enough
<amz3>and since my project is autotools now, I can have a GNU compatible documentation
