Possible Issues?

• Make objects, no matter the number, fully rendered within the users screen
• Resolve any warnings

How to run this?

First you'll need build GLAD as pointed out in the Important Notes section. After that, assuming you have the other dependencies installed, you'll just need to run

• python3 build.py
• cd .build/Assignment_1/App
• ./myapp
