#Cocoa OpenGL Template
A template for Xcode for creating a Cocoa OpenGL game.
Unlike for iOS, Apple doesn't have a template for creating a simple OSX game with OpenGL. I've therefore created this template along with classes similar to GLKView and GLKViewController. I've also included a wrapper for OpenGL programs/shaders. This is based off of the default GLKit template on iOS, with two rotating cubes, however there are some differences:
- Targets OpenGL 3.2 Core Profile
- Only uses OpenGL shaders (GLSL v1.4) - no GLKit effects
- Allows the window to be resized or be fullscreen (N.B.: there is some code and instructions in the AppDelegate that you can uncomment to create a fullscreen only window)
- Rather than being animated the balls rotate as the mouse is moved across the view - there is some code in
PTGLViewandPTGLViewControllerthat configure the tracking area - 60fps with 4x anti-aliasing by default
- Cube data is in a separate header file
The rendering is, however, identical:
##Installation
