Tutorial

Attention! All examples are contained in the downloaded version of the library. At this time, this is relevant for all versions of ZenGL. These tutorials are not fully compatible with the latest version of ZenGL.

ZenGL Tutorial: This is a first tutorial for ZenGL: download, installation, source paths, compilation (statically or with so/dll/dylib) (Windows dll), and the First program 'Initialization' that comes with ZenGL.

ZenGL Tutorial 2: This is the second tutorial on how to create a font and draw text in the window.

In the updated version

Attention! Basic information in Russian! Thank you for understanding.

  • Corrected compilation for android for FPC 3.2.0 and higher.
  • Moved the main code to correct the library
  • Edited work with Windows 64
  • Fixed minor bugs
  • Edited some demo versions (for FPC and iOS demos were not corrected, demo versions for Lazarus and Delphi were revised)
  • Introduced defines
    • define USE_EXIT_ESCAPE - exit. Ability not to write additional code to exit the program by pressing the Escape key
    • USE_INIT_HANDLE definition - for using ZenGL in an already created window (LCL/VCL)
  • Introduced support for MacOS Cocoa

Documentation is maintained inside ZenGL modules in Russian and English.
