i have been doing some lua coding on an xp machine.

i have a few questions,
1. something strange about the screentoworld routine, when z is set to 0. or
1. i get unusable results. when at 0.95 its almost there, why?
2. i use display lists, is that good? were do i plug the gl states in that
situation. i want blend effects. i commented the lines i think i need.
3. when i enter fullscreen i lose the drawing.

thanks , it’s fun coding in lua. and i feel can tackle some of nehe’s opengl
tutorial with it.
posting on the list so i hope it will not break in the forum.

Welcome to Lua land. I dig the feedback spiral. The screentoworld
function is basically doing gluUnproject. See the doc here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/gluUnProject.3.html

The 0 for Z depth in window coordinates is mapped to the near clip
plane value and 1 to the far clip value. Z depth is non-linear and
thus annoyingly not intuitive to our typical sense of parameter values
mapping to euclidean coordinates.

As for displaylists, these things have to be created when there is a
valid context and _must_ be rebuilt when that context changes like
when you go fullscreen. In jit.gl.lua, there are a few functions
defined to notify a script of things like context changes or scripts
loading happen. These are:

script_load
dest_changed
dest_closing
etc.
see the PDF doc for a complete list

So, to properly handle displaylists, You need to create it whenever
the context changes or your script reloads with a valid context.
jit.gl.lua has an attr called context which is 0 when there is no
valid context and non-zero when there is a valid context (it is also
unique per-context).

Here’s a slight mod I made to your script (full script is further
below) using some of the nice aspects of having functions as
variables:

– functions as variables!
function setOnReloadOrDestChanged(func)
script_load = func
det_changed = func
end
setOnReloadOrDestChanged(init)

–[[
This section is equivalent to the above

function script_load()
init()

i’m still having difficulties with the placement of
gl.Enable(“BLEND”)
gl.BlendFunc(1,6)
gl.ClearColor(0,0,0,0.5)
my intuition tells me it should be in the init function, but no go.

Indeed, this is the way to go. The Jitter constants for blend
functions just enumerate the list of enums. In jit.gl.lua, the enums
have become strings corresponding to the name of the enum. BTW, if
you get errors from the ONE enum and you have the latest version of
jit.gl.lua for your platform, let me know.

on the enum definitions from GLEW and apparently there are several
definitions of ZERO and ONE. I’ll get this patched up with a full
update in a few days.
