The CCGPU peripheral is an addon for ComputerCraft which allows you to do OpenGL operations within computercraft using Lua. The peripheral currently comes with two elements: a #GPU peripheral and a #Monitor output device. This is not to be confused with the CCLights2 GPU peripheral, which is a different GPU peripheral.

GPU

A GPU can be attached to a Computer on all sides except for the bottom. The GPU peripheral comes with it's own Category:APIs featuring extra methods that cannot be accessed using peripheral.wrap.

You can find the GPU api over here

Graphics Devices

A graphics device operates on a certain frequency (corresponding to a #GPU's id) and has an id indicating which buffer it is bound to. All graphics devices have a certain resolution corresponding to the resolution of the graphics they can handle.

Graphics Output Devices

Output devices are used to display a certain output buffer to the user.

Monitor

The Monitor block can be placed facing up to 4 directions and

Graphics Input Devices

Currently CCGPU doesn't have any default input devices. A camera might be added in the future.
