Hi! I'm new to opengl-es on android and struggling to get my head around the concept of texturing. I am looking to produce a tilemap of various difference textures.

iPhone glBlendFunc error

Hi, I'm trying to use the glBlendFunc, but it's failing on the first call, with the error "unacceptable value specified for an enumerated argument".
