Chickadee aims to make hardware-accelerated graphics rendering as +simple and efficient as possible by providing high-level APIs that +interact with the low-level OpenGL API under the hood. Anyone that +has worked with OpenGL directly knows that it has a steep learning +curve and a lot of effort is needed to render even a single triangle. +The Chickadee rendering engine attempts to make it easy to do common +tasks like rendering a sprite while also providing all of the building +blocks to implement additional rendering techniques. +

• Rendering Engine:  Rendering state management. +
• Sprites:  Draw 2D images. +
• Lines and Shapes:  Draw line segments and polygons. +
• Textures:  2D images. +
• Blending and Depth Testing:  Control how pixels are combined. +
• Vertex Arrays:  Create 2D/3D models. +
• Shaders:  Create custom GPU programs. +
• Framebuffers:  Render to texture. +
• Viewports:  Restrict rendering to +
