​​Chap 5/100: XML CFG File Loader / Simple Terrain Ground​
What I will Learn here?:
​On this Chapter we will use a XML lib to load the 1st version of our configurations of the future menus.
We will also render the base or ground of our world for now.

​
​​Note:
This can be a possible the base of our virtual world.
​
​
​(XML_LIB/src) A very simple version xml lib to load and save an XML file.

​​Our first texture Shader, very, very simple:

​What's next?
Yes is true we have the ground, on next chapter we will see the bases for the input Keyboard and mouse.
We will attach the input to the positions and the position to the camera.
This will allow us to move in our infinite world ground.
