+# OpenGL course
+
+The goal of the course is to introduce us to the OpenGL render pipeline and how to use the library.
+
+The code here was, in part, inspired by the code which was given as part of the course but could not run on windows.
+It is aimed to replace it and serve as a base for my own project as part of the course.
+
+## TODOs
+
+ - [ ] Camera movement
+ - [ ] Entities 
+ - [ ] Quaternion computations? Maybe use OpenGLMathematics
+ - [ ] Loading other file types
+
+## Dependencies
+
+The following libraries must be installed and findable by CMake:
+ - OpenGL
+ - Freeglut 3
