I would like to know if is there a demand for an OpenGL + SDL2 3D Game Tutorial series.
I have considering doing something like this for quite some time now and I'm asking all of you if you are interested. It will be like developing a game from scratch using OpenGL + SDL2 APIs only.
No OpenGL fixed rendering pipeline instructions will be used. (this mean only the programmable pipeline instructions -> OpenGL V3.3+).
The targeted OS will be Linux since I don't have a computer with Windows OS or a Mac.
The programming style will Object Oriented Programming (See Dev-Object source code to have an idea about what I'm talking about.)
The source code will be released under MIT license.

I would say go ahead and do it. If you can educate and engage the community.
tutorials on opengl 3.3+ would be very educational but it would be better to at least make it windows compatible.
To make it compatible with Windows will be very difficult since I don't have, as I said, Windows OS on my computer. That's why I have hesitated for almost a year before suggesting to create this tutorial series. Using OpenGL on Windows is not as easy as on Linux. I will probably need to ditch SDL2 and use GLFW instead for Window creation, mouse and Joystick inputs. Also use GLEW to get the OpenGL functionnality under Windows.
That being said I will need someone with windows who is willing to figure out stuff I can't test my self.
OK will see what I can do from now on.
Best regards.
