Disclaimer

This program uses the OpenGL Utility Toolkit(A.K.A."GLUT") created by Mark Kilgard. Thanks to his work, creating cross-platform OpenGL applications is much easier. Since GLUT is not open source, I have not touched any of the source files. Instead, I have linked the library to the executable and included glut32.dll in the project directory. For more information on GLUT, visit https://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut/
