Vercidium Engine - Documentation

I've started writing documentation for the engine and it's publicly available at https://publish.obsidian.md/ve. It's a work in progress, I'm working on it every night so check back daily for the latest updates.

My goal is for the engine to be intuitive to use, and provide plenty of examples to go with it. While this engine won't compete with Godot or Unreal, my hope is that it'll help you learn and experiment with OpenGL, multithreading, networking and much more.

Surprisingly I'm enjoying writing these docs. That might be because I'm cleaning up the code as I go, or because it feels like I'm making the code/engine 'official'.

I'm starting with the high level concepts (update loop, shaders, input, UI, etc) to cover the main features, and then I'll drill down into more specific features.

If you have any requests for what I document next, please let me know!

I'm also writing docs for Raytraced Audio here, if you haven't gained access to the demo or the Discord server yet, please sign up at https://vercidium.com/audio
