Very intuitive tutorial! Please fix the "next tutorial" link on the "Wrapping up" Section!

Thanks!

My window was not showing up initially. After playing around a bit I found out I had to use the window options to explicitly set IsVisible to true and give the window a reasonable starting position. Here is the code that worked for me:

using Silk.NET.Windowing;

namespace Something
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("starting...");

            WindowOptions options = new()
            {
                Size = new(800, 800),
                Title = "Foo",
                IsVisible = true,
                Position = new(50, 50),
            };

            IWindow window = Window.Create(options);

            Console.WriteLine("running...");
            window.Run();

            Console.WriteLine("done");
        }
    }
}

Ok, I was tired yesterday. I did not notice that the way how the window options are instantiated is different in the tutorial than in my code. I used new WindowOptions() but the tutorial uses WindowOptions.Default. This is important because I was later unable to get an OpenGL context from the window without changing to WindowOptions.Default.
