Summary
Setting up a drawing system was a little bit long-winded. However, now that it is done, we can churn out new objects much more easily. All we have to do is define the type and the vertices, then we can draw them with ease.
It is because of this ground work that the next chapter will be much more visually rewarding. Next, we will create blinking stars, a game world border, spinning and moving asteroids, whizzing bullets, and a HUD, as well as add full controls and motion to the spaceship.
