it's not a proper GL1 code sample without a glBegin/glVertex/glEnd block ;)

I was surprised to learn today that GL ES never had glBegin/glEnd, sadly.

yeah, I just thought "wait-a-minute... it's GLES" and also had to check the spec... a GL-wrapper on top of Metal with the GL1.x fixed function pipeline and Begin/End functionality would be great for quickly hacking some rendering code though :)

Yeah, that’s what inspired this in the first place. I mean, Metal’s in my fingertips at this point, but I still pine for the simplicity of fixed-function sometimes
