Pete's QBASIC Site

It sounds silly but I don't have OpenGL. I want to know if it's possible to write a graphics library in QB or FB and implement them into a C++ program.
If so, please tell me how.
A) I don't know how to make/use libraries in QB.
B) I don't know how to make/use libraries in C++.
C) I have the DevBond IDE.
D) Please be very descriptive.
E) All of the above.

Hi,

Qbasic really isn't for that, what you need to do is install OpenGL into your compiler. I don't know what compiler you are using so I can't really help, but I would recommend using Bloodshed Dev-C++ 5.0 as it makes installing things like OpenGL a breeze with its package manager. Heres a link http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

How do I get OpenGL, and do I have to pay for it?
Couldn't I, in theory, have the C++ create an ASM graphics code to have DOS debug? It's a stretch, but I can't see why not.
My point is that I don't want to purchase a piece of software. So how do I get around this?

Google is a wonderful thing...

Ohhh....I thought I had to pay for it. Thanks a lot. . That would be cool for a challenge though, to write graphic libs for non graphic languages.

Technically speaking, all languages are non-graphical. Libraries are what give a language its "graphical ability". Even QB.

I'm pretty sure I read that OpenGL comes with every windows since 95 (don't hold me to that) what you are installing are the header files for the compiler.
