This is probably the first "real" Devlog video of this 2D Game Engine that I'm writing from scratch in C++ and OpenGL to document the process. The first main thing that we are going to do is to create the System elements for it, starting at the Window and Event handling. Notice that I decided to NOT use any third party cross platform library to do that, meaning that I'll have to implement those backends for each OS I plan to support (Windows, Linux, Emscripten, etc). For today's video, I've done it for Windows.
