In this screencast (OpenGL video tutorial), I explain how to create animations using timers. Timers are generally much more robust than using typical idle functions. I also introduce using C structs to enhance the code.

OpenGL commands used in this screencast:
glutTimerFunc()

OpenGL parameters used in this screencast:
N/A

The code is available to download on Github
