Interesting iPhone And iPad App For Easier OpenGL ES 2.0 Learning And Development
OpenGL ES is one of the more complex topics that I’ve covered on this blog. I’ve mentioned some excellent OpenGL ES 2.0 tutorials for absolute beginners, and going from beginner to advanced covering topics such as basic texturing, and shader creation.
Today I came across a new app that is both helpful for beginners learning OpenGL ES 2.0, and for more advanced OpenGL ES developers looking tweaking their vertex and fragment shaders. There are a number of OpenGL ES 2.0 coding examples included with the app.
OpenGL ES Tutorials Beginner Through Advanced
Yesterday I mentioned a good hands-on OpenGL ES tutorial for absolute beginners to OpenGL ES 2.0.

I received a message about another set of iOS OpenGL ES tutorials covering many different topics in-depth. If you have trouble grasping some of the concepts then this could definitely be for you.
OpenGL ES 2.0 For Beginners Tutorial
OpenGL ES was at one time the most popular topic on the site, but that topic began to fall to the wayside somewhat because of the improvements in different iPhone game engines, and because of the perceived increase in complexity between OpenGL ES 1.1, and OpenGL ES 2.0.

Tutorial: How To Embed Lua In iOS Apps
Since the new rules about scripting languages, I’ve seen quite a few searches here on the blog for Lua and received an e-mail over the weekend about embedding Lua into an iPhone or iPad app . This is not surprising since Lua is a scripting language that is commonly used as a scripting language in major commercial game engines.
In the past I’ve mentioned iPhone Wax which allows you to use Objective-C code in Lua scripts without first registering functions.
A Couple Of Great Videos On iPhone OpenGL ES
Apple has recently released a couple of terrific videos on iPhone OpenGL ES from their Tech Talk. I haven’t finished watching the videos, but already had some takeaways that I’m going to implement immediately.
