Part1：Project Settings

We will start by creating a new project and configuring the different options. The tutorial project has been created with Visual Studio 2005 but it can be easily applied for another compiler. Start by creating a new project of type "Win32 Console Application" and giving it an appropriate name, then click Ok. In the creation wizard, select the type "Windows application" (not console) and check the "Empty project" option (we don't really need code that is generated for us).

When this is done, add a new source file Main.cpp to the project (if there are no source files in the project, some options are not accessible). Now open the project options and go to the "Linker" category -> "Input". In the "Addition Dependencies" option, add opengl32.lib. This tells the linker that it has to use the OpenGL library when linking the project.

Next, we will disable UNICODE because we don't need it and it makes things a bit more complicated. Go into "C/C++" -> "Preprocessor" and click on "Preprocessor Definitions". A button will appear on the right, click on it and in the dialog that pops up, uncheck the "Inherit from parent or project defaults". This will disable UNICODE which is inherited from the project default.

Now that the project settings are properly configured, we are ready to look at some code. Let's first examine how a Win32 application receives and processes events (keyboard, mouse, ...).
