You didnt come across as rude, infact, i wondered if i was! but likewise, it wasnt intentional if i did.

Your solutions definately sound more user friendly than what is currently available.

keep up with the good articles, and if you ever need and help with web development give me a shout, i probably owe it to you for supplying these tutorials

I didn’t mean to come off rude, I apologize if I did.

For the very reason of showing off the effects of the tutorial, I moved to creating Youtube videos with the latest OpenGL 4.0 tutorials and am hoping to get time to do the same for these as well when I rewrite them.

I find it takes more effort to supply an executable in that manner than it does to film it for 10secs, add a title and upload it.

In the current rewrites of the tutorials, I have also switched to a better method of displaying code, which has a copy and paste friendly button

Feel free to leave any feedback, I read everything that people post on the site and have tried to cater for peoples requests thus far.

All im saying is that some people (like myself) would prefer to have access to an executable to see the effects of the tutorial without having to compile it all first.

I dont want to get into an argument, but if people dont want to trust them, then surely that is their choice?

if your worried about security, zip it up and create a hask key. put the hask at the top of the tutorial. This way people can find out if it has been modified at all.

The main reason i suggested this in the first place is because sometime copying and pasting your tutorials, the code lines get messed up, and i have to sit there for a few minutes fixing it so the code will compile. i can imagine this would be worse on small netbooks though!

Hey man, its only a suggestion, you dont have to read a comment from me ever again, but you want to know how to make your site better, and that is my 2 pence worth.

I don’t know if you have noticed, but the new OpenGL 4.0 tutorials I provide include Visual C++ Projects, and once you have created a template project, most of my code should be copy and paste into one file.

However precompiled executables are generally not recommended to be placed online. A lot of people don’t trust them for starters, so I have no intention of placing these online at any stage.

I keep finding myself having to create projects, sort out the source code, and compile. This takes time, especially on the longer tutorials.

Other than that, nice work!

Dale

Thats a great idea, and with the new tutorials I am even trying to add YouTube videos to support them.
