This series of videos will demonstrate my progress in making a Game Engine in OpenGL.

Decided to test a simple spaceship design (found an awesome free and royalty free model here (this guy is good!) cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/space/spaceship/star-sparrow-modular-spaceship). Lot's of fun playing around this it, and including the ship controls (which to be fair are really simple and not all that great), I only had to add about 10-15 lines of code to get this all set up!

As before, this engine does not use any libraries; I'm trying to learn everything by hand here (perhaps a slightly ridiculous endeavour).
