The first interactive OpenGL tutor POT was conceived in 1998 by Sumanta Guha, Mahesh Kumar and Ichiro Suzuki at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, for use by the computer graphics students at UWM as well as the graphics community. Since POT ran only on UNIX platforms, we received many requests for versions that could run on other platforms.
Since 1999 Binh Le continued developing the tutorial and created a Java version JPot. This is the current release, and the important features are as follows:
- JPot is platform independent.
- The interface is improved.
- There are more lessons.
- A tool is provided to generate lessons automatically.
As an accademic project, JPot is free for all non-commercial uses, and we are strongly welcome other contributions for JPot. Even though we can not be responsible for any consequence of using it, we still try our best to assist you when you have problem regarding using and working on JPot.
