OpenGL Editorial Review
"OpenGL Game Development By Example" is a guidebook that teaches readers how to develop both 2D and 3D games using OpenGL. It provides pointers about free and open source tools that may help in the process, but uses outdated tools like GLUT which must be avoided. Additionally, the code examples provided were not verified for typos and would not compile in the way they are presented. However, the guidebook follows its objective of using OpenGL to develop games at an introductory level.
