/*
This is a well annotated document for learning how to use wgl.
This document contains the following:
- Create a window
- Create a context
- Render & logic on separate thread
- Enabling vsync
- Ability to show FPS + target an FPS
Build with:
g++ -std=c++20 -O2 -g0 -o test.exe main.cpp -lstdc++ -lwinmm -lglew32 -lopengl32 -lgdi32
Note:
If you want serious error checking, labor looking up all the wgl functions
and on error utilize ErrorHandler function.

This code is a lot cleaner especially with the inclusion of the no error and robust access context flag, which as you probably noticed AMD still doesn't support.

If I had any feedback left, I would say to check out WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear which is a relaxed V-Sync mode that doesn't cause stuttering issues if the FPS is lower than the refresh rate and frames start to come in late.

I'm not a fan of adaptive vsync
