2.3 Graphics

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.
