(Looking for my recommended game engine books? Take a look at the list below)

I begin to port 10,000 lines of Java code to C++ in this devlog. In addition to porting all those lines of code, I am implementing lower level functions that I used libraries for before, mainly window handling. So, I implement a window handler to replace GLFW, and then get to the point where the level editor for my engine is beginning to look like a level editor. I also make the engine a static library, separate from the level editor.
