This Open GL stuff is really interesting and I would like to become apart of it. However, I have no experience in Open Gl, C++, or coding a bot from scratch. Anyone have any idea on where to start?

I'm sure Brandon's the man to really talk to about getting serious about it.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the fast reply. There is a ton of stuff I need to learn if I want to master OGL. I better get started. :)

But yeah ask brandon or CynicRus where to start.

Learn C++ First.

Then you can start by learning OpenGL through Legacy Tutorials such as Nehe, etc..

A background in using OllyDbg or gDebugger won't hurt at all. That's about it. Mostly just learn C/C++ strongly. OpenGL will come along after with a fair learning curve but with ease as well. I'd say most people give up on C++ but if you learn it well and understand it, the other stuff will be a singe. Only reason I learned GL so fast is because I already understood C++ pretty well. I'd say the same for Cynic. I ask him to write Image communication stuff, he can do it easily. He may not know OpenGL fully yet but it'd take him about 2 weeks of reading and trial/error to get it since his C++ is fairly strong.

Anyone diving into OpenGL needs C or C++ for sure. Also it may not be required but a small math background. Perhaps in vectors/Calc would help.

The master has spoken. I will now learn C++. Cheers
