I'm new to OpenGL, so much confusion;

Do I draw in a separate thread? That seems to create problems with glBegin and glEnd.

Do I draw in my main window message pump? Then how do I make it redraw when it should? Does it redraw automatically? Do I need to send WM_PAINTs manually at intervals?

Where do I put the input routine? In the draw routine?

put them in the while getmessage loop.
or use setTimer and draw at each interval in either TimerProc or on WM_TIMER

There is an OpenGL example already in the fasm download.

How and why do I put it in the getmessage loop? Do I make it a peekmessage loop? What advantage over putting it in the wndproc?

Can I put it in WM_TIMER instead?

The GL example I think abuses the message queue or something, it gobbles up an entire cpu core.

As I understand, you can use 3 options:

1)on WMPAINT in msg LOOP. (But it will be updated only when the windows needs to updated, somthing drawed over your windows)

2)Use a WM_TIMER: only draws when the WMTIMER event is activated.

3)Use peek Msg, this way, is the most used in games, becous as i get it, you dont wait a msg, you intercept it.

you can just do this.

; This is also good as it gives you control as to when you want to draw

; meaning how many frames per second.


SetTimer,[hwnd],[timerId],[interVal],timerProc



proc timerProc hwnd, msg,id,elapsed

;TODO GL code here

ret
endp

The problem is that when my glbegin..glEnd is in a different thread than the wndproc, responding to WM_SIZE and invoking glViewport fails when between glBegin and glEnd.

use global variables or flags.. Wink
Code:
cmp [msg],WM_SIZE

mov [sized],1
....

proc timerProc

glBegin

cmp [sized],1
je    .notSized

.notSized:

;//TODO code goes here if window is not re-sized.
glEnd
    


Does that help ?

Hmm, I guess. I'll try it out. Then I should be able to contain everything in it's own self-timed thread.

Own self timed draw thread using global flags it seems. Sounds like the way to go. But I don't get the peekmessage loop.

2300 fps without the sleep. Razz Mouse input breaks with the sleep.

Trying to get the aspect ratio correct, 4:3.

Any idea why nothing at all shows up on screen if the values of glOrtho differs even slightly from these values?

Code:
                invoke  glMatrixMode,GL_PROJECTION
                invoke  glLoadIdentity
                invoke  glOrtho,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0
                invoke  glGetError
                invoke  glMatrixMode,GL_MODELVIEW
                invoke  glLoadIdentity

My font demo is much simpler and uses ortho projection.
http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=9885
By convention, opengl sets ortho screen [0,0] at bottom left.
You can flip the values to make it top left instead.
Also note where double parameters are passed (not dwords but qwords)

My example was missing an operand, but I still don't understand what's going on.

Code:
invoke  glOrtho,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0
    


Gives an error 501 and probably defaults to some standard view, showing my cube.

Code:
invoke  glOrtho,1.001,-1.001,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0
    


gives no error, but present a black screen.

-----realization: glOrtho expects doubles------

I tried glFrustum too, with similiar results: (I can't use x headers)
Either it fails with error 501 and presents my cube orthogonally, or it accepts the operands and shows nothing.

Code:
                mov     esi,frustum
                push    dword [esi+40]
                push    dword [esi+44]

                push    dword [esi+32]
                push    dword [esi+36]

                push    dword [esi+24]
                push    dword [esi+28]

                push    dword [esi+16]
                push    dword [esi+20]

                push    dword [esi+08]
                push    dword [esi+12]

                push    dword [esi]
                push    dword [esi+04]
                invoke  glFrustum    



What operands should I use if I just want to show my sidelength 1 cube that sits in the origin?

Do I pass the parameters correctly?

Take my wgl font demo (wglfont.asm) and plug this into it...
Code:
; TODO: Render 2D shit here...

        invoke  glPushMatrix
        invoke  glTranslatef,256.0,256.0,0.0     ;x = 256, y = 256 (pixels from bottom left)
        invoke  glColor3ub,255,255,255       ;white
        invoke  glBegin,GL_QUADS
        invoke  glVertex2i,-10,-10         ;10 pixels width,height (z = 0)
        invoke  glVertex2i,-10,10
        invoke  glVertex2i,10,10
        invoke  glVertex2i,10,-10
        invoke  glEnd
        invoke  glPopMatrix
    

Doing it in 3D with ortho is no different except 3D vertices with glVertex3*
Also translating to screenwidth/2, screenheight/2 puts it center of screen.
Make sure you know exactly what a function does before using it.
Hope this helps Smile

Ramble: I am thinking of OpenGL tutorial series for FASM.
If enough people show interest i may do it...

I have no trouble with the modelview matrices, only getting the perspective matrix going.

I pushed the doubles in the wrong order, with this I actually get something with some kind of perspective on screen:

Code:
                mov     esi,frustum
                push    dword [esi+44]
                push    dword [esi+40]

                push    dword [esi+36]
                push    dword [esi+32]

                push    dword [esi+28]
                push    dword [esi+24]

                push    dword [esi+20]
                push    dword [esi+16]

                push    dword [esi+12]
                push    dword [esi+08]

                push    dword [esi+04]
                push    dword [esi]
                invoke  glFrustum

                frustum         dq 5.0,-5.0,5.0,-5.0,0.1,5.0
