Rendering the First Character | Font Rendering in Java #2

Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/4tHeAkxNg7

In this episode I discuss how to render the first character to the screen. This involves uploading the buffered image that contains all the characters to the GPU, then calculating the texture coordinates for the character we would like to display. And lastly, modifying the texture coordinates in a vao and using a shader to display the texture from those texture coordinates.
