Hardware Support
Depending on the Graphics API used specific hardware requirements must be met:
Of course OpenGL can be achieved without hardware acceleration but performance will be quite horrible.

Documentation
Current documentation generated with doxygen is minimal but available.
Supported IDE
- VScode integration
- [WINDOWS ONLY] (In Progress) Visual Studio - if the project has been generated then you can run .\Utility\Windows\open_vs.bat which will open the project in Visual Studio.
