# 2021-02-11 - Learned how to solve a 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube. - Learned about different ways to render text with [[OpenGL]] and [[FreeType]]. - To squish and stretch text like how it is done in [[Mario Kart Wii]], either [[FreeType]] can [[rasterize]] each transformed character, or possibly, each character can be pre-rendered to a [[Signed Distance Field]] and then shaders can transform characters from there.
