However, I haven't thought of anything I desire to create, but I have many ideas.
Use this time to modularize your code so you're not writing glDoSomethingForMeAfterILookYouUpInTheReference every single time you want to add something.
I mean, I would love to do it. I know C++ and I am a CS major at Uni. I am only familiar with SDL for graphics though but I am willing to learn if you think it would be okay. I would be pretty dedicated.
