But it's the funniest language IMO, you can do frigging anything with it.
Which is why it causes problems of course.
I need to find the nut meme about programming languages again
Edit: Well this meme at least gets the gist of it
Ooh been there done that, but with opengl, lol memories...
Ooh been there done that, but with assembly language and direct register and video memory access, lol ancient memories...
Aah!
Remember direct mode/protected mode? Mode 13? That 64k color buffer, aah memories :-)
Yup. All of that. And the modes got even weirder too.
Yeah there were loafs of them!
You get a matrix, and you get a matrix. Everything gets a matrix. That's my main memory from OpenGL.
Worldmatrix, objectmatrix, movematrix, ... !

View matrix has the perspective 1/v thing in it IIRC, the world euh, yeah it was a long time ago...
