This repo is a starter setup for modern OpenGL with GLFW, GLEW, and GLM built with CMake and Clang.
GLFW is a free, Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.
GLEW (The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library) is a simple tool that helps C/C++ developers initialize extensions and write portable applications. GLEW currently supports a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Darwin, Irix, and Solaris.
GLM (OpenGL Mathematics) is a header only C++ mathematics library for graphics software based on the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) specifications.
