Bits

Hi /prog/rammers...

I'm an hobby programmer and I'm here to ask a really simple question... I tried to google it but I don't even know where to start my search

the notation:
0x00 = 00000000
how it is called?
how can I convert an 8bit array in this form?
for example how can I discover the notation or the bit pattern?
?? = 00110100
0xff = ??

can someone explain me the logic behind?

thank you...

as far as I got no glaux spotted... it's using all OpenGL internal things...

and I can't find a PDF of the updated version, and all the sample code coming with the NeHe tutorial are still using glaux... so it's really a confusion of things...

so for exeample I get stuck even at the first include:

#include <window.h> //No such file or directory
HDC hDC =NULL; //doesn't work HDC does not name a type

the compiler says... file not found...
maybe is because I'm on a mac... or because I didn't linked the library or... or... well Addison works NeHe... nope...
