Скачать или смотреть Solar System in OpenGL – Main Function & Program Flow Explained

In this final video of the OpenGL Solar System Graphics Programming series, we explore the main() function, the heart of the application.

You will learn how the program:

Initializes GLUT and OpenGL

Creates the window and sets display modes

Sets up lighting, textures, and display lists for stars, planets, and asteroids

Registers all the important callback functions (display, idle, keyboard, special keys, mouse, motion, hover)

Enters the main rendering loop, making the simulation fully interactive

Handles window resizing and user input seamlessly

This video ties together all the previous parts of the series, showing how the simulation works from startup to execution.

By the end, you’ll fully understand the program flow, OpenGL initialization, and interactive 3D application design.
