Extra notes about project

Please take note of the vertex slot rules when making new shaders!
click the link to check the file: vertex_layout.h

//Please abide by the rules of the vertex slots!
//This might change in the future make sure to check the vertex_layout.h file!
namespace VertexSlot {
    constexpr int Position = 0;
    constexpr int Color = 1;
    constexpr int UV0 = 2;
    constexpr int Normal = 3;
    //constexpr int Tangent = 4;
    //constexpr int UV1 = 5;

No dependencies folder exists

This section will highlight what are the required dependencies & how to get them, for this project. This is here in the case that I decide to git ignore the dependencies folder.

Required Dependencies & Folder Architecture:

• OpenGL 3.3 (Core Profile)

• GLM (Math) - https://github.com/g-truc/glm/tags

  • I used glm-0.9.8.5 I think from the learnopengl docs

• GLFW (Window & Input Management) - https://www.glfw.org/download.html

  • Version 3.4 or higher
  • Just download the 64-bit Windows binaries (pre-compiled).

• GLAD (Extension Loader) - https://glad.dav1d.de/

  • Check the image below. First set the red boxes, then finally, press generate & download the glad.zip file.
