What we cover:
	Game Engines

What we don't:
	Gameplay, art, music, level design, marketing, storywriting, scores, etc
	Basically, everything that makes games actually fun

Topics we'll see a lot of:
	C++
		OO design and STL especially.  I ended up with a reinterpret_cast last time...
		Why C++?  You all know it, Python is too high-level for game engines
		Why not C?  I want objects and STL
	3D Math and Geometry
	OpenGL and video card control
		I think we'll use OpenGL 4+.  Used OpenGL 1.x once, and wouldn't again
		I use Vulkan for research code, but I think we don't want to go that route

We will not use the game engine from last time I taught this
	We will write a better one!
	In fact, I'll try not to look at it all semester, and haven't all Summer
	This'll be the third time
	It'll be overly simplistic
		Example:  STL data structures
		I'm tempted to add slab allocation at least

What kind of computer?
	The 1070's in this room will be more than adequate
	Requirements will be higher than expected given level of detail, etc
		Most optimizations make the engine more complicated
		Should we have "project 4:  double class engine performance" ?
	I'm going to build and test on Linux, probably also FreeBSD
		I'll try to test it on AMD sometimes
	People before have built this on Windows with Visual Studio
		Just a matter of getting your libraries right
		Would anybody like to maintain a visual studio build?		

Review from CS211 or 311:
	Objects and methods
	Operator Overloading
		If this isn't a review anymore, tell me and I'll be more thorough
	Let's make weird_int
	STL Vector Example:
		It does stuff Python lists do
		Have to instantiate as a template class
		You can have a pointer to the underlying memory
		It is NOT a linked list!

A simple measure that not everybody approves of:
	We will avoid use of private and const
	Both of these protect us from ourselves
	Weird bugs are a good learning experience, and we'll code faster
	I'm not against these constructs, but we need to simplify

Lab 1:  Some C++ practice
	Might be really easy
