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. <br /><br /><br /><u>Freeglut vs glut</u><br />-Better version of glut<br />-new functions introduced<br />-glutMainLoop() never returns also means that a GLUT program cannot exit the event loop. freeglut fixes this by introducing a new function, glutLeaveMainLoop().<br /><br /><br />Freeglut is also used by us, the year two students of DET taking Advanced Computer Graphics module.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4026150466840299175-197735272049734728?l=danightmarecg.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>danightmarenoreply@blogger.com
