This program generates a rotating point-sphere (a sphere made of points) entirely in C++. Dependencies used include GLFW3, Glad, GLM, and GLSL.

I'm not to familiar with other operating systems, but there are online resources available that can guide you through the installation process for the dependencies we need.
Install GLFW, an open-source API for displaying OpenGL code on your screen.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install libglfw3-dev
Also, install cmake and make if you haven't already
sudo apt install cmake -y
sudo apt install make -y
Navigate to the project directory
cd /path/to/project/directory
mkdir build
cd build
and run cmake to generate the Makefile.
cmake ..
Run the makefile
make
and finally, run the executable
./point-sphere
Voilà, you should see a rotating sphere on your screen.
