Hi mr.jagan,

What are the compile errors? Some people have mentioned in other comments on this page that they have had to make changes. I’m guessing GLUT and FreeGLUT have an incompatibility here.

Cheers,

Hey Nishant,

Have you tried changing the game mode string, eg: “990×768:32@75″ to something that your monitor supports? This was done when I had my old CRT monitory and most LCD displays don’t use 75Hz.

Cheers,

Seems like it’s not working for me.
I get the error
“Unrecognized game mode string word: 1200î800:32@60″

My game mode string is “1200×800:32@60″. what to do now? :O

Other than that, your tutorials are really really really awesome! Keep em coming!

Huum, been having a play around with this, though it dosent seem to want to go fullscreen with a single buffer, and when i use a double buffer it seems to stop my update calls.
glutIdleFunc (display); dosent seem to work, and as b4
glutPostRedisplay(); stops working with a double buffer.
