3 points of failure
1) .h files
-set a config path to tell it where to look (it being the pre-processor)
-if this is wrong => syntax errors
-function declarations(prototypes)
2) .lib file
-static library
-function definitions
-this is the linker
3) .dll files (“dynamic link library”)
-
Motivation for dll
-release fixes w/o requiring rebuilds/reinstall
-saves having multiple copies of shared lib in mem

REVIEW
2. GPU and texture memory and the frame buffer (memory protection)
4.
a)Modelling – PEC 0,0,0 for that building, so per building/object
b)World – when you put the buildings in the world, construct a model by
placing these modeling references in a world view
c)Viewing - based on the view we want to see through a hypothetical camera,
e.g. top down shooter buildings flat etc or FPS where u see up down and
around etc
