## Acknowledgments
This project was built by following the **[LearnOpenGL](https://learnopengl.com)** tutorial by Joey de Vries. It provided invaluable guidance on setting up an OpenGL environment and implementing core game mechanics, shaders, and rendering techniques.
For those interested in learning OpenGL from scratch, this tutorial offers a comprehensive introduction and is highly recommended.
