Hi

I am new to ubuntu and i feel good with it!

I need to create games for my project !

I heard about OpenGL any one help me what is it and how it is useful for animation or game creation

Or else if u have any idea for game creation ! i am having a good programming skill but lack in designing!

So help me to do this project !

Thank you well in advance !

Oh dear... games are hard.

OpenGL is a graphics API. It's used to create 3D graphics, or 2D if you so wish.

It's not suitable for anything else- because it doesn't do anything else. Animation is up to you, and it won't provide any further services to your game beyond graphics.

You may wish to look into libraries such as SDL, for input, windowing, audio; or game engines- they might make it a bit easier.

Thanks for U Thank u for u r guide !

Do u have any other idea about gaming !

Enjoy:

Programming a game is not for novices, let alone beginners. Start by doing some programming tutorials, and if you like it, start doing some tutorials on how to program games. Start simple, then work your way to the top.

You might want to start by looking at PyGame - it's a set of modules for Python that provide easier functions for sprites, user input, animation etc.
