A repository to better understand and explain OpenGL. This project uses GLFW for windowing and GLAD for OpenGL function loading.

Branches are used to demonstrate specific OpenGL concepts as major steps (0.1, 0.2).
Tags mark smaller improvements or refactors inside those branches (0.1.1, 0.1.2).

• Branch 0.0 — Demonstrates how to set up and build a minimal OpenGL project using CMake.
• Branch 0.1 — Bare minimum GLFW + GLAD window
  • v0.1.0 — Initial OpenGL initializing with explanatory comments
  • v0.1.1 — Separates OpenGL initialization into functions
• Branch 0.2 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.3 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.4 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.5 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.6 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.7 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.8 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.9 — W.I.P
• Branch 1.0 — Triangle W.I.P

This project uses CMake. Follow these steps to build:

git clone https://github.com/Masonlet/LearningOpenGL.git cd LearningOpenGL

mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON ..

-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON flag generates a compile_commands.json file
Can be safely omitted on Windows if you're using Visual Studio

• Linux:

  make

• Windows:

  cmake --build .

  Or open the generated .sln file in Visual Studio and build the solution.
