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

Adding asteroids to the game was pretty simple given the code structure which is a good sign that the design is working well so far, but clearly there are some issues, mainly (as I can gather) floating-point issues due to the large scale of the environment. I think that is what is causing the jarring movement in the spaceship and other objects - once seen cannot be unseen. I'll need to manage that better, and will be something to look into soon.

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