Uh that's much less code than I'd expected from what the first glance tells me. Thank you very much, this is for sure very helpful. laugh

You're welcome. I was surprised as well how easy the integration works.
Only thing that is a little bit nervy right now is that it takes about 3 seconds to start up the rendering process. For testing not so good, but in a final game it won't be a problem imho.

EDIT:
Any comments on the shader system?

Digging this up again, I noticed you were using OpenTK for this, did you experience any problems with the library? I've read some diffuse statements about problems with VBOs and the general windowing, did you notice anything about that?

I never had any problems with OpenTK, the library itself is well made and stable. I don't know what could go wrong with the VBOs as OpenTK is only a thin wrapper over OpenGL. Only the Window Part was pretty heavy but it worked perfectly for me.

Could you elaborate what you mean by the window part was very heavy? (I'm really sorry I'm abusing this thread)

Heavy is "wrapper" terms. OpenTK is pretty much a thin wrapper where every function is wrapped like this:
Code:
void function(...)
{
glGetErrror(); // Reset error
GL.function(...);
checkErrorAndThrowExceptionIfAny(glGetError());
}



Heavy means that it abstracts stuff away (like window creation under different OS). You just create a new GameWindow object and you have a window open.

In terms of usability, this is awesome wink
