The GLUT package (http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage- scripts/package/GLUT) contains a lot of examples, too: Almost all examples from the Red Book, one example from the Orange Book, examples from the initial chapters of "Beginning OpenGL Game Programming" plus a few miscellaneous examples. It would be nice if the NeHe tutorials were included in the GLUT package, too. I'm not sure if I contacted Jason in the past or if he is reading this list. Having as many examples in a single place would be good for documentation purposes and testing. My main intent was to keep the OpenGL API in Haskell as close to the C API as possible, while providing a real "Haskell feeling", avoiding the need to re- document each and every tiny detail from the almost 500 pages of the OpenGL specification. Browsing through e.g. the Red Book examples should be more than enough to get you started, at least if you know the Red Book, which I assume most OpenGL programmers do. Cheers, S.
