OpenGL, GLFW and GLSL

Structure of a graphics program

1. Make a window and a context

   • This is OS specific, therefore we need GLFW to set this up for us

2. Load all OpenGL methods (GLAD)

3. Compile shaders

4. Specify vertices (C)

5. Set up objects to communicate with the shaders (OpenGL)

6. Render loop (OpenGL)

7. Deinitialisation (GLFW)
