This project outlines how to open a window with the Win32 API and how to create a modern OpenGL core context. It uses Spirv for the shaders and features a single triangle rendering using Direct State Access features of modern OpenGL.

It aims to just serve as a minimal refrence in how to get these aspects up and running quickly with minimal abstraction allowing you to just get into it.

This project uses the cmake build system.

run compile_shaders.bat
cd ModernOpenGLWin32 
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Use package manager vcpkg (https://vcpkg.io/en/getting-started.html) and install dependencies.

.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

vcpkg install glew:x64-windows

vcpkg integrate install (optional for usage with visual studio 2019/22)

Doing a completely different project i needed to interface with the Win32 API as well as use spir-v. I thought there could be some benefit in this refrence existing.

Pull requests are welcome and issues as well.
