Sample OpenDX Networks

Click here to go to the directory of sample OpenGL networks.

To run one, copy both the xxx.net file and the xxx.cfg file into the same directory. Then read the .net file by clicking on Edit Visual Programs in the main OpenDX menu.

You can also load these programs by clicking on Samples in the main OpenDX menu.

Caveat: OpenDX wants to run through an X window server. That is not on the DVD. It needs to be obtained some other way.
