I am completely new to programming and game development for that matter. I am using the C++ software to create my Game Engine with the help of a beginners guide. I noticed it has a OpenGL option when starting up a new project. I've heard of OpenGL pertaining to game development, not sure what it is though.

Should I be using OpenGL when creating my Game Engine? Will it matter if I just start with a blank slate?
