xll VS LearnOpenGL

My guilty secret is to use Excel for my quick and dirty GUIs. I wrote a library to make that easy if you know C++. https://github.com/xlladdins/xll.

Please tell Satya to show the ancient C SDK a little love. I'd hate to see this disappear: https://github.com/xlladdins/xll#fp-data-type

If you want to throw an exception instead of calling `abort` you can use https://github.com/xlladdins/xll/blob/master/xll/ensure.h When running in a debugger it can break execution when it fails and you can inspect the values of relevant variables.

xll appears to be MIT according to the nuspec. xll_sqlite doesn't have a license, so the author hasn't given anybody to use it.

Excel. C++ can be embedded in Excel and used interacively. It is more useful than old-fashioned python programming. I wrote something that makes this easy; https://github.com/xlladdins/xll

This is quite clever, and probably a joke that I'm not getting, but the Excel C SDK lets you call C/C++ from Excel and vice versa. This is one of my bread and butter tools, and I like nice tools, so I wrote a C++ wrapper around the SDK. It also lets you embed C++ objects in Excel: https://github.com/xlladdins/xll

I want to begin game development as a hobby, but I'm unsure where to start. I did follow through https://learnopengl.com/ a few years ago, and while it was a very interesting experience, I imagine I would need to use an existing engine to be productive.

Do you recommend any books and tutorials aimed at experienced programmers with 0 knowledge of game development/design?

- Game development - Unity3D project based learning in C#: https://learn.unity.com/ - Graphics - There was another user on r/GraphicsProgramming the other day (who teaches Computer Graphics at his university) that linked their lecture series for the entry year of their course here: https://tamats.com/learn/realtime-graphics/ - Project based learning: https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki - Rendering API tutorials: https://vulkan-tutorial.com/, https://learnopengl.com/

If u want to make 3D game, you'll probably want to learn some 3D shader graphic stuff. OpenGL is a good start. https://learnopengl.com

LearnOpenGl.com

Possibly a smidge outdated.

Goes from blank window to rendering 3d meshes with advanced lighting techniques (HDR, SSAO and more).

Heped me understand shader pipeline, so I recommend it.

I'm reading the guest article about frustum culling on learnopengl.com and there's a video demonstrating how it works and for debug purposes they have a bunch of spheres turning red or green which I assume means they're being culled or not so my question is if I wanted to do this do I have to make a mesh for whatever bounding volume shape or is there a specific method for something like this?
