How does the computer make Elden ring go?
Even more specifically… how does it project 60-ish 3D images onto my 2D screen with all its shading, textures and lights?

In this video, which will hopefully be the first in a series, I will be trying to figure out just this… we are gonna look on a super low level at what exactly is happening behind the scenes in a graphics API such as open GL or Vulkan.

Also disclaimer, I have no computer science education as of now, I have tried to make this as technically accurate as possible, please let me know if you have found any errors.
