How are you supposed to handle the event of a user who closes the hopengl window? I see no way to detect this with the API. The main loop of hopengl just keeps running.
OpenGL doesn't deal with window management; that's handled by
whichever UI toolkit you are using. GLUT responds to window deletion
by either calling exit (X11):
case ClientMessage:
if (event.xclient.data.l[0] == __glutWMDeleteWindow)
exit(0);
break;
or PostQuitMessage() (Win32):
case WM_CLOSE:
PostQuitMessage(0);
If you want more control, you'll need to use something other than
GLUT, e.g. GTK+HS or wxHaskell.
