A simplified OpenGL ES core wrapper library for Haskell.

OpenGL ES: Open Graphics API for Embeded Systems

opengles is a Haskell wrapper library around OpenGL, OpenGL ES and EGL. Made complicated OpenGL APIs easy yet keep flexible enough. Resulting binary size is relatively small so that apps launches faster. Works on both desktop and mobile.

Documentation is available through hackage for the current and preceding releases.
