OpenGL is a [[Software|graphics library]] that was created in the early '90s as a premptive strike against the world of [[Video games|gaming]]. It is used for everything from games to the very desktop environments of [[Mac|some computers]]. Its primary competitor is [[DirectX|DirectX]], made by [[Microsoft]]. In truth, OpenGL wasn't really made by anybody, as it just sort of came out of nowhere when Silicon Graphics was spitting out monitors. It is now under the control of [[Nobody|Kronos Group]], who are tasked with the [[Unrealistic expectations|ambitious]] project of revolutionizing gaming with [[Shit nobody cares about|WebGL]].

== Current state ==

OpenGL is currently at version 4.2, which is [[Magic|magically]] irrelevant to most OpenGL developers, who [[Java|prefer to work with 1.0 and 1.1]]. Why? Microsoft is continually updating their own graphics library, DirectX, and therefore have no interest in supporting OpenGL, meaning that version 1.1 (released in [[Old|1997]]) is as up-to-date as you're going to get, unless you download the latest graphics drivers from ATI.
