OpenGL Bug Hell

OpenGL is one of the finest rendering API's available, the other being Direct3D.

For anyone who ever used OpenGL, this is worth reading

To avoid mindless trial and error hacking ... 

...Busy

Well I was busy last year concentrating on a project that made heavy use of virtual memory, this year I have been busy looking at open source, moving from project to project to find inspiration, I still don't have a goal as such, however I am very interested in

Blender
FreeCAD

for all things concerned with Computer Aided Design. Blender seems to be quite difficult to learn, and as a consequence the first simple steps towards CSG were easier in FreeCAD. I would like FreeCAD to look (and feel) a lot more like Autocad, however I understand the Open Cascade API that it was built on is difficult to use, being intellectually demanding.

The other software that I have been looking at includes

WebGL
HTML5
Javascript
Android Development
Cross platform phone development

I'd still like to get my own game done on one of these platforms, I know it is almost easy now using an engine, but I bumped into the old problem of content development. I think this is why I became interested in CAD. I was certainly looking at blender for inspiration on User Interface design.

I also absolutely use Python ... I downloaded a package called Pythonxy over a month ago and set up the control systems toolbox (an achievement worth mentioning) . I am really impressed by the power of MathPlotLib combined with Scipy (scientific python package) and Numpy (numeral python package). I can actually run my old control systems studies in python and see the result plotted on screen.

My idea, already made !

I even thought of the idea of python scripting too !

I was using Opencascade
with WxWidgets and my google efforts brought me to this!
