Chapter 1. Building the Foundation

Building a game is like building a house. Except this is a crazy house with rooms sticking out everywhere, and at any time someone might decide to add another room just here, and remove a room over there. You had better have a good foundation!

This chapter will take you through the process of setting up the foundation to build your game. You will learn, how to set up a development environment using Visual Studio. Next, you will set up the game loop, which is the foundation for every game ever created. Finally, you will set up the development environment to use OpenGL as your rendering engine.
