It's been a bit of a long week with my OpenGL project having large issues with the libraries not functioning and throwing hundreds of errors. I also released my first article and on the 18th i'm releasing another all about procedural generation in game development
Hello and welcome this is my first entry for my blog which I hope to update weekly from now on and i'm mostly just going to talk about what i'm doing today. Right now i'm working on my university project where i'm making a clone of the original Mario Bros as well as a project in OpenGL 1.1 to learn the ropes of programming a 3D environment, been thinking about making a Mario 64 or Zelda Ocarina of Time clone with the project although for now i'm keeping it simple and just making a simple environment that a player can interact with.

In this article I will outline 2 ways that can help you complete your jam.
