??/??/???? Started this from following an OpenGL tutorial on 'TheCherno's
           youTube channel.  But there are elements of my own and at least 
           one idea from a youTube user's comment on a "TheCherno"s video.
01/12/2023 Abandoned GLEW for GLAD do to ease of use, no libs and just headers
           and a c file to build. Just link it yourself, in your project.
           Therefore there are no binary compatibility issues.  The only issue
           with GLAD is the website configureing of those files.  It is a boon 
           and a bane,having to rely on a website that may or maynot be there in
           the future. Whether it is due to connectivity or being nolonger supported.
