Last words:
1) I can render my box just fine
2) i can render my screen rect just fine
3) I cannot render my box into a texture then display it into my screen rect
4) This entire project is just a test project I made to test different rendering practices. So excuse any "ugly-ish" unclean code. This was made just on a fly run through when I was trying new test cases.
