[nfbcs] OpenGL and C++

[Lanie Molinar]

Hi, everyone. I'm taking another programming class this semester about 
object-oriented programming with C++, and this week, we're starting 
programming projects using graphics and OpenGL. I have no experience 
with OpenGL and have a few questions. Is working with it at all 
accessible with screen readers? If so, do I need to do anything special 
to make it work? The resources I have for this class recommend using a 
virtual machine for graphics assignments, setting PuTTY up to work with 
graphics, using MobaXTerm, which was not accessible last time I tried 
it, or using Visual Studio with the OpenGL packages that are available. 
I thought about using a virtual machine, but the recommended one for my 
class is VirtualBox, which doesn't seem to work with NVDA. I was told 
about a free version of VMWare but couldn't get it to work. Is there 
another virtual machine program that's accessible and free or very 
low-cost? Are any of these ways of programming with graphics accessible? 
If so, which ones, and what do I need to do to get set up? If none are 
accessible, I'll request alternative assignments. Please let me know 
what you think as soon as possible so I can figure this out. Thanks.
