Fluttershy says, ハローワールド!

So I've finally started down the rabbit hole of the coding project I've been thinking of for a couple years now.
This is the test project to get a few things happening first:

  • Render using OpenGL
  • Use PNG images as textures
  • Render text using a TTF font
    • Do it using a full Unicode font
  • Write it in C/C++
SDL makes a lot of this easier and will facilitate several other aspects for me in addition to helping to keep the code so that it will easily build for multiple platforms; cause it's 2013 and there is no "one platform" that "everyone" uses anymore.

The screen capture here shows this all happening together at once!

Time to let the noodle relax.
