Built the digital window where the game actually lives and claimed it for the graphics card so it can draw on it. 100%
Turned on the engine that communicates with the graphics card, so it's ready to receive instructions 100%
Defined the shape of what is made, so the instructions make sense to a human 100%
Built a system that communicates the shape of what is made to the GPU, so it can be formed quickly 100%
Made a prototype by manually typing in themath to build a simple cube and triangle 0%
Camera: add math that makes things look smaller when they're farther away and allows the player/viewer to look around the world 0%
Determine what is a solid object in the context of the game's engine so it can hide things that are blocked from view 0%
Write logic that allows the player/viewer to move, rotate, and scale objects so the NPCs can walk around 0%
Change the visual format from colored blocks to wrapped images (textures) at add detail to models 0%
Implement importing of 3D model files to reduce the code needed to create models 0%
