/prog/ - OpenGL ES is awful

Who the fuck designed OpenGL ES? What the fuck? They need to be castrated! What the FUCK?!

OpenGL itself is fine, but what the fuck is all the vector buffer bullshit?

You're eating shaders now.

I don't mind glVertex3f
It's the buffered vomit I have to put up with on Android that's pissing me off

OpenGL ES 2 is actually awesome. It restricts OpenGL to only those features you should be using anyway; you should not use all that deprecated bullshit from the fixed function pipeline, nor any of the implicit shader attributes and variants that desktop OpenGL provides for you.

For the most part you should write your engine targeting the OpenGL ES 2 subset, and only use desktop OpenGL features when you need things that GLES2 doesn't support (like multiple render targets, advanced GLSL features, etc.)

There's nothing wrong with the fixed function pipeline if all you need is a spinning teapot. The problem is rather that it's not all that much more comfortable to do in OpenGL.

Maybe a more modern wrapper library over OpenGL ES 2 that's not as low level would be nice.

You mean the one with horrid, obfuscated type names and requires you tp iuse rediculus function names?

Also, the offer (for the free tablet. Yes, I'm a moocher but fucking dual core omap for writing an app) only allows Java code.

Why don't you tell us why you couldn't post a working solution to to the "Loop all pairs" problem. Yeah, I might call people burger flippers, but when it comes down to it, I can write code. You can't. Hence why I dub you a mental midget.
