OpenGL Library Choice

WebGL interfaces directly with JavaScript, OpenGL is natively C. So we need some bindings in F# or C# to allow us to interface with OpenGL. To add further complications we also need to handle Window initialization which can get pretty tricky when dealing with multiple platforms.

Code Style and Functional Programming

Published: 2018-07-08

In this article I discuss my choice of coding style and also touch on functional programming. It's something I've been studying for a while and I'm slowly trying to introduce into my work. Both these things will affect the style of code I post on this blog.
