Instead, we can use SDL2's cross-platform audio +API and implement all the audio mixing directly in Scheme. +** TODO [#A] Ditch the readline dependency +Figure out how to get back to using Guile's built-in REPL for +=chickadee play= so the custom can go away.

Support +for other formats can be added later. This will give us more +flexibility since we won't be tied to SDL surfaces and thus a single +thread for image loading. +** DONE [#A] Fix keyboard layout bug +For example, someone with a QWERTZ keyboard layout, when they press +their Z key, will invoke the key-press handler with the Z key, but +(key-pressed?

For love2d parity. +** DONE [#B] glTF 2.0 asset loading +Partially implemented but most example models don't render correctly. +** DONE [#C] Rewrite GPU state and render context code +Adding a new piece of state requires too much work, much of which +feels redundant. +** DONE [#C] Improve technique-specific state handling +Right now everything (shaders, buffers, etc.) is wrapped in 'delay' +forms and then 'force'd when rendering. It would be better if we +could somehow register this stuff with the gpu object. A plugin +system, maybe. The plugins would be initialized when the gpu object +is created and all the state would live there instead of at the +top-level of various modules. +** DONE [#C] Physically based rendering +Needed for full glTF rendering support but just good in general for +3D. -- cgit v1.2.3
