Java Tutorial 09 – OpenGL and Java

This video looks at how we can use the OpenGL graphics library in our Java programs. This video was an entry in a competition on 3dbuzz.com. As such, it doesn’t flow on from the previous videos, just consider it a bonus.

C++ Video – 3DBuzz Suppliment

This is a very short video explaining a problem that comes up time and time again on 3dbuzz.com. Essentially, why the code for their Hello World example doesn’t compile. If you have done any C++ coding before, you can safely ignore this video.

Note that this video is 1024×768, so hit the full screen button to get more readable detail.

Notes:

The 3DBuzz C++ videos include the following code:

main() {
   cout << "Hello World" << endl;
}

This code fails to compile on newer versions of Visual C++ and GCC. All that needs to be done is to specify that main will return an int, and then actually return one:

int main() {
   cout << "Hello World" << endl;
   return 0;
}

Of course, whether this actually needed a video is debatable!
