Should I learn OpenGL, or try building a graphics engine from scratch ?

  cl-opengl is a set of CFFI bindings to the OpenGL, GLU and GLUT APIs.

  Once you understand CFFI you can hop into OpenGL or Vulkan land. We have bindings for those: very mature and stable cl-opengl and partial cl-vulkan. Meaning, you will have easier time with OpenGL. Not only because of better bindings, but also OpenGL is much simpler than Vulkan, although still a mess.

  well that's how i learnt this type of stuff. even wrote a simple 3d engine myself (shameless self promotion tank command although it is nothing fancy and is quite old by now)
