Unsorted

Debugging-aid

• Draw axes
• Draw surface & vertex normals

Feature-wise

• Camera transformations w/ 2 degrees-of-freedom (yaw and pitch)

• Perspective transformation

• Back-face culling

• Raster-clipping

• Culling & clipping based on the view space

  • Frustum-culling
    • Crude (AABB vs. AABB)
    • Smart (some other more optimized technique)
  • Clipping geometries against the view frustum
    • Clipping against the near-plane
    • Clipping against the far-plane
    • Clipping against other planes? (Or would raster-clipping be enough?)

• Flat-shading

• Phong reflection model

  • Ambient lighting
  • Diffuse lighting
  • Specular reflections

• Texture-mapping

  • Affine
  • Perspective-correct

• Occlusion culling (😩)

• Functionality for dynamically (re)loading mesh data (should go to server?)

Primitives

• Rectangles
• Lines
• Triangles
• Circles

Project Organization

• README.md
• File descriptions
• CONVENTIONS
• Migrate to TypeScript
• Decoupling? Inspiration from OLC_PixelGameEngine, or OLC_ConsoleGameEngine, or OpenGL shading pipeline?
