The EASIEST way to setup OpenGL with Visual Studio. (CMake Setup for Gamedev)

I have for you all the things you need to start writing OpenGL. It is difficult to configure libraries like GLFW GLAD GLM or IMGUI and that is why I already configured them for you. I used CMake to configure OpenGL but you don't have to learn it, just use my template. Thank me later.

#cpp #opengl #gameprogramming #graphicsprogramming #visualstudio #cmake

Do it a billion times then eventually you will just know how to do it...

I was having trouble with setting up GLFW, but then I found this. I absolutely love your channel, yet haven't thought to sub yet, so I just have. You are super underrated and I just wanted to show you some appreciation for your content! Tysm!!!

Nice! Are you planning to make a video on raytracing?

im not quite sure if i understand how you open a project using this. I have cloned the repo, but how do i create a new OpenGL file after running the program? Is OpenGL now implemented in VS, or do i need to open this repo every time I want to start a new project?
