OpenGL Clean Code Example

a simple OpenGL example written in C++ that demonstrates clean coding practices and modular design. The program creates a triangle with colored vertices and renders it in an OpenGL window using GLFW and GLEW.

Project Structure

• main.cpp: Main program that initializes OpenGL, creates a window, and renders the triangle.
• Shader.cpp and Shader.h: Classes responsible for shader compilation and linking.
• Renderer.cpp and Renderer.h: handles OpenGL rendering and clearing operations.
• Application.cpp and Application.h: manages the application lifecycle and coordinates other classes.

Requirements

• OpenGL: for rendering graphics.
• GLFW: for creating windows and handling user input.
• GLEW: for managing OpenGL extensions.
• A a++ compiler supporting C++11 or higher.

How to Compile and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/OpenGL-Clean-Code-Example.git
   

Code Explanation

• Shader Class manages shader compilation and program linking.
• Renderer Class: handles the initialization and rendering of OpenGL objects.
• Application Class: controls the window and openGL context, and main loop.
