Introduction to OpenGL in Android
by Tamillharasan Chandran (speaking)
Objective
Getting started with OpenGL programming can seem to be a little heavy but it need not be.
We will start with a brief introduction to OpenGL and then quickly jump into the step-by-step tutorial section.
Description
The intro will include some history including the differences between OpenGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL ES2.
The tutorial will introduce OpenGL programming by building a simple app which has the following features
- Draws basic shapes
- Filling the object with basic colors
- Applying a texture on the shape
- Creating a simple animation with the shape
And while implementing the above, we’ll cover the following topics
- Setting up the view
- Drawing simple shapes
- Vertex Shader
- Fragment Shader
If time permits, we’ll also cover the following
- OpenGL Shader language [GLSL]
- Transformations
- Frame Buffer Objects
