Re: textures, GlUT3.7 and Ada95

Jerry,

There is an ada implementation available and the examples there don't
use textures, or I must have been looking with a very well implemented
'remove everything that looks like reading texture files from what I see
in an ada95 program' filter.

As I wrote I was looking for examples, such to give me the ability to
port the code myself. But I can have a look at the GLUT code that has
been ported to ada and compare it with the C code.
Once I know the trick I will make an example "converting C to Ada95 for
dummies" that I will use myself for my future C to ada projects.

One part of the problem is that I am better in writing code that no one
understands, than reading somebody else's code. Especialy when it is
written in a programming language I am not familiar with.

To be more specific, I ran into something like Void *byte. Hmmm, I
wonder what it means, and more, how do you convert something like that
to Ada? There are more of these int* blub and void *bertje(&eet, *pap)
that confuse my very fragily understanding of access types am just
growing.

I will also have a more in depth look at the C code myself. It means I
have to find a C book.

Wilco
