General Comments

• Messed around with Godot, didn't really find it all that interesting.
• Started writing a game engine in C.
  • Really liking it so far
  • Feels like I have finer control
  • I'll definitely be using my mouse less, so that's nice

C-Based Game Engine

• Boiler plate! Boiler plate! Boiler plate!
  • I can't render a boiler or its plate yet.
  • Window opens
  • Can draw triangle with vertex and fragment shader
  • Text file loading works

Text File Reading Functions

• Very nice
• Nice wrapper for builtin functions
• Probably will be used a lot, better keep it simple

Error Codes?

• Gonna be writing a lot of code that throws errors, especially when writing all this darn BOILER PLATE
• Error code standards to be implemented - will be documented when done

Boiler plate

• Cube rendering!
