How can I use OpenGl for iPhone games??

Hi! As you know I really want to be an iOS developer. I know how Xcode works. But I don't know for the graphics and animation. I've heard that OpenGl can be used in games. But how? I mean like connecting the animations in OpenGl to the program written in XCode. I don't understand that part yet. So please can you guys explain me about that. I thank you all. 

Hi Eric,
it would help me frame answers if you give the background information:
- do you know any 3D computer graphics theory? E.g. viewing transformations.
- do you know any openGL already?
- do you already know objectiveC and ios programming?
To answer your questions:
- the OpenGL ES libraries are already included as part of the iOS SDK, so if you have that you are set.
- I am using an Air myself, works fine for developing for iOS, including code using OpenGL ES.
- OpenGL ES is based on OpenGL 3.0, so is very similar. Almost the same.
- read the post I linked to:
http://db-in.com/blog/2011/01/all-about-opengl-es-2-x-part-13/
He explains how to hook things up quite well. However, you do already need to understand how to develop for iOS.
As I mentioned above, it helps to know 3D Graphics principles. If you do not know that then it is difficult to animate using openGL (or any other SDK). There are third party tools available (e.g. Corona, Unity, project Anarchy) that can make life easier, but at some point you simply have to learn 3D graphics. Trying to do animation without understanding graphics is like trying to write native apps without understanding programming. You can cheat to do basic stuff, but nothing useful or deep.
This is not easy stuff, you will have to put some work into it. Start with the above link as an intro, and also the apple docs pointed to by teacup.
Good luck!

    Siri only works on the iPhone 4S or iPhone 5. If you have one of those devices, turn it on in Settings > General > Siri.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

    Last June, I bought an Iphone in France with Bouygues operator. As I have to leave for Thailand, I ask them to unlock my Iphone, I had to paid 70 euros for it. They asked me to wait about 1 week. I am now in Thailand. Yesterday, I plugged the Iphone to Itunes and I guess the unlock was done as my Iphone was updated. I bought a new SIM card from a thai company... and it doesn't work.
    I went to ask to some shop and they said that my version is 3.1.2 and in Thailand it's only 3.0...Is that the reason I can't get a thai SIM card? What should I do? How can I use my french Iphone in Thailand?

  • How can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?

    I use TopLink today, and I can use one table to query, but how can I use TopLink for querys that have two and more tables?
    Thank you for see and answer this question.

    You can write a custom SQL query and map it to an object as needed. You can also use the Toplink query language "anyOf" or "get" commands to map two tables as long as you map them as one to one (get command) or one to many (anyOf command) in the toplink mapping workbench.
    Zev.

  • How can I use OCCI for oracle8.1.6?

    my database is oralce8.1.6 for solaris8.
    I want to develop database application by OCCI .
    But only oracle9i has OCCI.
    How can I do?
    Where can I get OCCI ,and how can I use it for oralce8.1.6?
    thank you very much!!

    OCI is available for all versions of Oracle including Oracle
    7/8/8i etc. However it is not installed by default with these
    versions. I am assuming that the default 9i installation
    includes OCI. You should be able to install OCI for other
    versions through one of the development platforms e.g. ProC/C++
    etc.

  • How can i use AME for the new OAF page.

    Dear all,
    I have developed a new OAF page and registered under Employee Self Service.
    How can i use AME for the approval process.
    Appreciate your ideas?
    zamora

    I will try to answer based on my experience of working with iProcurement and AME. It depends on how you want to make a call to AME , directly from OAF Page or from Workflow and your requirement. You didn't specify what you want to show the users on OAF Page and your business requirement.
    Before calling AME Engine from the OAF page or workflow, I guess you did already setup AME Transaction Type and it's Approval Groups, Conditions, Action Types and Rules. Do some testing from AME Business Analyst Test Workbench. Please note that, AME provides lot of PL/SQL API's that you have to call from your programs (java or workflow pl/sql)
    Let's look at the workflow and putting an OAF Page as notification.
    As Sameer said, you have kick-off workflow process from PR of CO and with in the workflow function, you make a call to AME Engine API's with the AME Transaction ID. This transactionId belongs to the AME Transsaction Type that you setup. Based on the rules setup, AME Engine generates list of approvers/approver and stores them AME Tables for that transactionId. Then, it sends a notification to the approver.
    In the workflow, where that notification is defined, in the message body you have to put an attribute(&XX_WF_FWK_RN) of type document/send. And this attribute will have the constant JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=XX_FUNC&paramId=-&DOCUMENT_ID-. This function is SSWA Jsp function that makes a web html call to your OAF Region.
    If your requirement is to just show the list of approvers on the OAF Page, you may have to call AME API diectly passing your AME TrasnactionId with other parameters. Then AME generates list of approvers and stores them in AME tables with each approver status. You can pickup those approvers using VO and show them on OAF Page.
    Hope this gives some idea.

    How? You provide almost no useful information.
    What is rtc3?
    Why do you think you have to use DLLs?
    What did you try so far that hasn't worked?
    What is it you want to accomplish?
    You see what you ask here is just about the same as if someone would ask you to tell them what screw he needs to fix his car.
