Be aware of the OpenGL ES 1.x and 2 differences. If at all possible please use ES 2 as this is much closer to modern desktop OpenGL and will also be more maintainable in the future. It does however mean learning about buffer objects (vertex buffer objects (VBOs) and maybe index buffers (IBOs)) as well as shaders. Think of OpenGL ES 2 as approximately equivalent to OpenGL 2 without all of the old fixed functionality stuff that was deprecated in OpenGL 3.1. Yes, I know it's confusing! ;) Good luck, Sean -- Dr Sean Harmer | sean.har...@kdab.com | Managing Director UK Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB, a KDAB Group company Tel.
