Hello Friends This is our first video in python opengl programming in this video we will introduce opengl, how we can install opengl with python and our first window of opengl in python
First of all what is opengl
Opengl is an application programming interface also we call call it API which is merely software library for accessing features in graphic hardware and also opengl is designed as streamlined, hardware independent interface that can be implemented on many different types of graphic hardware systems
In these series of videos we are going to perform modern opengl programming where we have vertex shaders and fragment shaders that they run in gpu not cpu also as you know
Opengl does not prepare for us window and inputs like keyboard and mouse inputs so we need another package or library for window and inputs, there are some packages in python that we can use for window and inputs for example we have pysdl2, we have glfw and also we have glut in this video iam going to show you how you can make opengl window in glut and in the next videos I will show how you can make window with glfw
Now the first thing you should install pyopengl for installing pyopengl simply open your terminal command and write pip install pyopengl after that open your pycharm

Installing PyOpengl
pip install pyopengl

Link For Needed GLUT DLL

I used to play with OpenGL back in the day with C++. It would have been nice to use Python instead. I need to toy around with OpenGL again but in Python.

Rather than copying the glut.dll and glut32.dll over to where you are creating new Python code, is there some way to modify something about the runtime so that the DLL's will be found from where they are actually installed?

hello Parwiz hope you are well.Can you make a tutorial on how to combine opengl with PyQt5 widgets?

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Instead of getting the dlls you can install freeglut if on a Debian or Ubuntu based system you can do "sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev" i do no know how to on other distros or windows.

Glut has an issue with freetype libraries
on windows 10 I fixed it by downloading the windows 32bit freetext .dll and .lib from and pasting the files into my python install directory

Freeglut can work as alternative to glut.

is this more efficient than using pygame, like in the sentdex tutorial?

[smraro]

does someone has the dlls?? the link is no longer working

ERROR: "line ##, in glutCreateWindow
return __glutCreateWindowWithExit(title, _exitfunc)
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <class 'TypeError'>: wrong type"

Solution: add "b" before title in 'window = glutCreateWindow("Opengl Window In Python")'
Like so: window = 'glutCreateWindow(b"Opengl Window In Python")'

Hi, Ive installed python and opengl, but how do i get the glut library?
