Re: openGL documention?



Just for some background, here on Debian Etch I can apt-get install
libopengl-ruby (the package which supplies ruby-opengl:
http://www2.giganet.net/~yoshi/ ). To install it, it pulls in freeglut3
also. It gives you opengl.so and glut.so. The readme does not seem to
be available in english.

I notice that, for writing games with Ruby, RubyGame (
http://rubygame.seul.org/ ) makes use of ruby-opengl as well. It's docs
have this to say:

| Please note that Rubygame itself does not provide an interface
| to OpenGL functions - only functions which allow Rubygame to
| work together with OpenGL. You will need to use another library,
| for example ruby-opengl, to actually create graphics with OpenGL.

There's a bit more to say on Ruby + OpenGL at the wiki:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?OpenGL

Would someone mind posting a translation of the README.EUC here?
Thanks,
---John
