This project serves as my exposure to the OpenGL framework in C++, and simultaneously to GLFWG and glad. of these libraries have already been loaded into this project, so that saves you the hassle of installing them.

- GLFW provides us with the bare necessities required for rendering objects to the screen. OpenGL itself does not have rendering functionalities.
-
GLAD is a Loader-Generator for the OpenGL framework.
-
There are multiple versions of OpenGL. The location of most of its functions is not known at compile-time and needs to be queried at run-time. GLFW helps us at compile-time only. This is where glad comes into the picture. GLAD manages function pointers for OpenGL (OpenGL LOVES using pointers and references for its methods)

GLM is a mathematics library specifically made for mathematical operations in OpenGL projects, mainly stuff such Linear algebraic operation.
