I've been hunting all over the place to find one, but I can't find anything giving me a good suggestion. I've also been hearing that somehow LWJGL is useable with C++ (How??) so is there a way I can do that or am I just being stupid?

Thanks.

Upon googling the said term, I find

boost graphics library
SDL
Allegro game programming library

I believe, for your purpose any of the above might work. My personal recommendation is to use SDL.

Don't listen to Sorcus, he's silly. OpenGL is what real men use. And don't bother with immediate mode. You must jump directly into vertex buffer objects.

BTW, LWJGL + C++ is the most retarded thing I've ever heard of as LWJGL = "Lightweight JAVA Game Library."

I know, Mod, I thought of that too. A friend of mine told me to use it, and usually he's pretty good with that stuff. Musta been Trollin'.

I highly disagree.

SFML is a much better library if you're working with C++ code, and it teaches you how to do proper object oriented work, not just use C++ as C with a few templated containers.

I find Ogre really easy to use, but I have nothing to compare it with.

Orge is anything but "easy to use", it's a true fully featured monolithic rendering engine.

SFML is very similar to LWJGL is that you can just use it for windowing and event handling if you want to, and use plain OpenGL to do your stuff. But then it also has some stuff like font rendering taken off your shoulders and done by the library too. On top of that, SFML also has networking, image loading, and sound functions as well once you need them, not just rendering.

You mean the other ones are easier? :D

Ogre was definitely not easy to set up, mind. Or to get the terrain engine working correctly, but I have a feeling that's to do with my texture converting skills (or lack of them).

@pighead10, how did you install it?? I follow every step in the instructions, but C++ Studio always shows errors...

Then you haven't followed the instructions. Try using the Ogre AppWizard, it's a lot easier to set up an application for beginners. I've used CMake for my current project.
