Use a fixed update + timestep and cap the maximum FPS. + +** TODO Input + Provide hooks to respond to keyboard, mouse, and joystick events. + Wrap SDL keycode, mouse button, etc. constants in our own + enumeration. + + - [X] Keyboard + - [X] Mouse + - [X] Window (active, resize, quit) + - [ ] Joystick + +** DONE Sprites + Encapsulates an image and all of its transformations: position, + rotation, scale, color, etc. + + - [X] Add support for texture regions + - [X] Add support for animations + - [X] Use a sprite batch when drawing if one is currently bound + +** TODO Sprite batches + Efficiently render a large number of sprites. Only change OpenGL + context when necessary. For example, don't change texture when + rendering several sprites in a row that use the same one. + + - [X] Add basic batching for non-scaled, non-rotated sprites + - [X] Add transformation logic for scaling and rotating + - [X] Add support for colors + - [ ] Add support for different blending modes + +** DONE Tilesets + Break an image up into many small pieces. Useful for creating maps. + +** DONE Animations + Create a data type to represent an animated sequence of textures + and/or texture regions. + +** TODO Tile maps + - [ ] Create a generic tilemap module + - [ ] Create a loader for Tiled .tmx map files. + +** TODO Scene graph + A tree structure that is traversed when rendering a game scene. + The graph is composed of groups and nodes. Transformations are + accumulated as the tree is walked. + +** DONE Scripting + Provide a way for users to easily script 2D games using coroutines + and a scheduler. + +** TODO Vectors and matrices + Vectors and matrices are needed constantly for games. Provide an + easy-to-use module that provides procedures for common + vector/matrix math operations + + - [X] Vectors + - [ ] Matrices + +** TODO Fonts + - [ ] Fixed width bitmap font rendering + - [ ] Truetype font rendering via freetype + +** TODO Sound + Provide helpful wrappers around SDL sound procedures? + +** TODO A* pathfinding + A* is a commonly used pathfinding algorithm for games. Pathfinding + is such a common task that it would be nice to provide users with + a generic implementation. + +** TODO Bounding box collision detection + Most games need simple bounding box collision detection. Provide an + efficient implementation that uses quad trees. + +** TODO Particle systems + Provide a highly configurible particle simulation system. + +** TODO Asset Management + Provide a generic system for loading assets (images, sounds, fonts, + etc.) and storing them in a cache. Explore using weak keys so that + assets are removed from the cache when they are no longer + referenced. + +** TODO Actions + Provide a library of coroutines that perform commonly used + time-based actions such as linear interpolation.
