Write a better test wallpaper #16

Closed markfguerra closed 11 years ago

markfguerra commented 13 years ago

The current test wallpaper does its job, but it's about as ugly as it is green. More importantly, it doesn't really test very much. What we could use is a new wallpaper that uses more OpenGL features, so that we can visually confirm that things are working reasonably well.

It would be hard to include every OpenGL feature, but here are some possibilities

Texture mapping
2D imaging
Blending
Lighting

Bonus points for making it look cool.

Walter Reid submitted a version of the NeHe OpenGL lessons implemented as live wallpapers. I am currently working on integrating his wallpaper projects into the GLWS project.

I worked on Walter's code and pushed it to the branch issue16-nehe-ports. At this point I finished integrating one of several test wallpapers that he submitted, so there's still more to do before I can merge it into master.

I did some more work on Walter Reid's port of the Nehe lessons, and opened a pull request to merge it into master
