After about an hour I got a window to load! Initially my plan was to use vulkan for this game because I had previous experience with 3d graphics. NO. it takes 1000+ lines of code to make a window and half of it I don’t understand cause there’s dumb c things like memory management, I would rather make slow and steady progress, so I used OpenGL. Additionally for this project, I plan on learning kotlin after being a java main for so long. Why? cause i wanna.

Anyway, I started off by creating a gradle project in intelij and setting up my repositories, I used this and then checked documentation as well as asked some questions to gemini in order to figure out what the functions did. I had some gradle loading issues but it was just a typo. Given I didn’t learn anything crazy thats all I have to say

btw for some of my other projects, people asked for video demos but my computer can’t run any recording software cause its broken so don’t expect any
