Burrog Befuddler

This is my hero banner for Assignment 1, built with OpenGL and GLM as a 700x150 pixel scene. It displays my hero's name, "Burrog Befuddler," along with a lily pad crest representing my Character. Every letter is drawn entirely from hand-placed OpenGL primitives with no fonts involved. Nine unique letter shapes (B, U, R, O, G, E, F, D, L), each its own color, each translated, rotated, and scaled individually.

The lily pad crest uses a real GL_TRIANGLE_FAN: a center point surrounded by a ring of points with a small wedge left open, so it reads as a notched lily pad instead of a plain circle. A thin GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP forms a vein running across the pad, and the letters plus the small flower beside it are built from GL_TRIANGLES.
