[lainz]

Go here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/ZenGL_Tutorial

This is a first tutorial for ZenGL: download, installation, source paths, compilation (statically or with so/dll/dylib) (Windows dll), and the First program 'Initialization' that comes with ZenGL.

Improvements are welcome

What is it?

I've scanned the Wiki page, but I cann't figure what is it

Using so/dll/dylib doesn't requires to follow terms of LGPL-license.

I think it is better to replace this text via:

Using so/dll/dylib doesn't requires to open source code of your application.

Meanwhile new stable version of ZenGL was released - 0.2.2, and as always can be downloaded here

Changelog:
- [Linux]now DIRECTORY_HOME will return $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
- [Linux]updated libjpeg to version 8c and built for compatibility with older distributives
- [Windows]fixed autopause under Windows 7 for minimized window via dockbar
- [Direct3D]now scr_Flush works as in GL-version
- fixed loading some wav's
- fixed file_GetExtension for situation when Directory has dot in name
- tex_Del won't delete zeroTexture, which returns as a result of tex_LoadFromFile/tex_LoadFromMemory if texture can't be loaded

Hi,

I've created a german translation for the first Tutorial:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/ZenGL_Tutorial/de
but I don't know how to add it to the english frontpage. 

If anyone could add it... ?
Thanks.

I'll go for the second tutorial to translate now.

This is not an OpenGL Although ZenGL can be used with OpenGL render.

Hm, seems this text you just forgot to delete - "This is the first demo program included with ZenGL, first create a new "Free Pascal Program". Add the Source Path as described before."

I fixed a bit Russian translation. Хотя конечно забавно получилось, ведь сам владею русским, но руки не дошли перевести неофициальный тутор...

Edited!
I found some small typos and errors and changed them.
Thanks for pointing this out!
