[clean-list] OpenGL

[Bas van Dijk]

Hi Jeff,

If you're looking for a guide, you have to check out HOpenGL (if you haven't 
done so already). HOpenGL is the OpenGL binding for Haskell written by Sven 
Panne.

HOpenGL has a clear design which IMHO can serve as great inspiration for 
COpenGL. Of course HOpenGL uses Monads for IO but rewriting that to 
uniqueness typing should not be to difficult.

BTW HOpenGL also includes bindings for GLU and GLUT.

You can find the automatically generated documentation at:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/OpenGL/Graphics-Rendering-OpenGL.html

The website also includes tutorials but it's a bit out of date:
http://www.haskell.org/HOpenGL/
