New Lessons

==New NeHe Lessons==
These Lessons are a new set of OpenGL tutorials. They use newer features of OpenGL, better object oriented style and base on SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to create a platform independent OpenGL context.

'''If you want to know how to get the lessons up and running, see the first ones in the list explaining how to use Code::Blocks or Visual Studio to compile them'''

Enjoy!
