This tutorial is a concrete implementation of everything covered in the previous tutorial. I go over how to create a vertex and fragment shader, compile the shaders, link the shaders and send the shaders to the GPU. I also go over how to create a VAO, VBO, and EBO and send them to the GPU. And lastly I go over how to use glDrawElements to draw the square to the screen.

Code for this tutorial: github.com/codingminecraft/MarioYoutube/commit/79dbf66a11ae7322fb4cea9b46e6bf17bd993088
