    I'm very happy to report that openGL support in gtkada works fine. I 
made a simple blunder in my initial test (not attaching the gl_Area 
widget to my main window widget *sigh* :) ).

    It is also possible to use an openGL engine (ie a renderer in it's 
own ada task) with gtakada. A simple protected object to prevent mutual 
access between the gtkada task (main environment task) and the openGL 
engine task, is all that was required.

    *Thank* you Vadim for letting me know that the openGL support is there.

    Now, onto my game ! ... :D

    "The game is afoot!"


Regards.


P.S.   Would anyone know if gtkada might be 'upgraded' to support gtk4 ?
        Just curious (gtk3 is fine for my purposes).
