Thread: [Plib-users] Can I use the standard openGL-lib in one program with PLIB??

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

My question:

Can I use the standard openGL-lib or other libs that use openGL (such as
particle systems...) and PLIB in one program?

Yes. .. but

Since PLib is written in OpenGL, you might look at extending 
one of the PLib Classes to do what you want

Yes, and if you are careful with managing the opengl "state" you can
mix in any of the raw opengl commands that you want as well.

Yes.

My games do that stuff for on-screen scoring, etc.
