Post Body

Hello, I'm new to opengl, just finished learning c and I wanted to try making a side scrolling mini game like this gif . A lot of googling on the internet and I still have no idea where to get started so please help

I want to first import the background into the 3d space, is that texture mapping? Do I first make a shape in opengl like a quad and then "bind" the background textures onto it? The thing is, I get the idea, I'm not sure where to start or go about it.

How do i render the background and import a 2x2 spritesheet?
