Tutorial for 2D OpenGL Graphics

Post by SHA-1 » Mon Aug 13, 2012 2:03 pm

I've been using Qt's animation framework and I want to use OpenGL for a game I'm making.

The game is a 2D game but all the tuts online are about 3D and I just want to do 2D.

Any Suggestions/Websites that just teach 2D will be apprieciated.

OpenGL is for 3D. Of course you can use OpenGL for 2D: it's the same as 3D, you just ignore the Z axis. Anyway, for 2D, you can use simpler libraries. IMHO OGL is quite cumbersome and difficult to learn.
