The sad part about this is that even with the most minimal code you could write,
it would still take pages to draw a texture to a quad.
That makes "simple examples" out of the question.

When I needed to learn arrays or cout or something,
I could always make a tiny example code a few lines long and mess with it until I was familiar with the new concept. But for something like this there would be a lot of text to experiment with, and I wouldn't be certain of exactly what was happening, or how my interactions were effecting the end result.
