Freeglut VS glut
Freeglut
Freeglut is an open source alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions. freeglut is intended to be a full replacement for GLUT, and has only a few differences. Freeglut was originally written by Pawel W. Olszta with contributions from Andreas Umbach and Steve Baker. Steve is now the official owner/maintainer of freeglut.
Freeglut vs glut
-Better version of glut
-new functions introduced
-glutMainLoop() never returns also means that a GLUT program cannot exit the event loop. freeglut fixes this by introducing a new function, glutLeaveMainLoop().
Freeglut is also used by us, the year two students of DET taking Advanced Computer Graphics module.
