Description
1 Introduction
Mini Project 1 is intended to get you started with OpenGL programming. You may
download the OpenGL sample app from the “Files” section of CatCourses. To compile the
application, simply navigate to the folder and type: make. This will produce an executable
called glutapp, which you can run by typing: ./glutapp.
2 Requirements
You are required to make your OpenGL program display your name, by representing the
letters as GL POLYGONS. If your name is long, you may use a shortened version, or just your
initials. For example, Figure ??, contains a screenshot of the project of former student
Nathaniel Lewis, who has a long name, so his program displays “NATE”.
