Glux (OpenGL Utility & Auxiliary Library) is a flexible C++ library to aid development in OpenGL.

• A flexible C++ library containing utility and auxiliary functions and classes to aid OpenGL application development.
• Function and class names try to follow the OpenGL naming convention, making the library easier to use.
• Creation and manipulation of (multiple) windows usable in an OpenGL-based application.
• Built-in support for loading RAW and TGA (RLE compression supported) images.
• Utility functions, such as basic INI loading, figures (gluxWireSphere, …).
• Does NOT entirely take over your main loop like GLUT and its variants do.
• Basic Threading.
• Crossplatform.

Yusuf Pisan at ITS in Sydney has some good suggestions about finding games jobs in Australia.

I would also suggest looking internationally too.  Some countries are easier to work in than others.

• Japan – need Japanese language, very tough to get work, difficult to get work visa, high cost of living.
• USA – solid tech industry, jobs are geographically varied, temporary work visas are easier than they have been.
• UK – good access for Australian citizens.
• Germany – I have always enjoyed working with Germans, English is widely spoken.
