hi,
i have a simple blend file which shows how to program a simple OpenGL program to work inside the Blender Game Engine.
This is a real simple setup which basically draws a red polygon, so checkout the blend file.:yes:
if you know more please post here, so that it might be useful for others as well.
thanks in advance.

Cool! Can this be used to expose other OpenGL features like the geometry shader?
2.50 blender.
I dont think it is possible. sorry.
@others
did it worked?
Part of my GSoC work last summer was implementing geometry shaders. This isn’t in trunk yet, but here are some docs:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Moguri/GSoC_Shaders_Docs
If you’re interested, I could try and build an updated win32 build of the branch. I say try because merging might be a pain again.
Any chance of a Linux build?
Can a geometry shader create a new mesh( so that we can create them procedurally or taking the coordinates from an obj file skip the part of creating it in python with the bpy library[extremely slow] and create it with the shader)?
A geometry shader is executed after the vertex shader and yes it is possible to create new triangles in the process. But usually geometry shaders operate on already existing triangles. A good example is chapter 1 in GPU Gems 3 “Generating Complex Procedural Terrains Using the GPU”.
Does Linux 64 work for you?
