TODO FOLDHAUS

STREAM #1: 3D Overhaul
- Rendering (Working on this elsewhere)
    - OpenGL 3
    - Vertex Buffers
    - Clipping in shaders
    - Layers
    - Lighting

- Camera
    - pan
    - zoom
    - leds always face camera

- Sculptures
    - cache led vertex buffers
    - custom sculpture update functions (for motion)
    - editing sculpture files (change universe output)
    - motion

- Sculpture View
    - mouse spatial interaction - handles, and hover for info
    - debug capabilities (toggle strip/led/universe colors)

- Internal Log File
    NOTE: This should not be a part of the debug system
    - Save output log to a file continuously
    - Have a window where we can view the log within the app
    - Create a bar that displays the most recent error message
    - :ErrorLogging

- Animation System
    - blending between animation
    - layers
        - layer masks by sculpture
		- layer masks by tag / value
    - interface for animation system
        - add/remove layers
        - select blend modes
        - change which layer an animation is on
    - setting start and end of timeline (how long is a loop)
    - clips can have parameters that drive them?
    - clips cannot overlap eachother on the same layer

- Serialization
    - saving scenes
    - saving projects

STRAM #4: Completeness

- Platform Layer
    - Mac Platform Layer

- Make sure it works without building in Debug Mode

- Network
    - Handle Error Cases
    - Handle connecting a sculpture after launch
    - Artnet
    - Universe offsets (per sculpture)

- Interface
    - text input
    - lister with icon options

- Asset Loading
    - Need to figure out which textures are currently in graphics memory and which need to be resubmitted
    - images
    - icon system - integrate with interface

- Settings

Assembly -> SACN interface
- need to create a data structure in CreateDMXBuffers that prevents duplication of DMXBuffers.
-   - thinking about a dictionary. Key is Universe, length is 256, create parallel arrays as necessary

BUGS
- Typing a period into a float value doesn't register. Problem here is that we arent' translating key presses into characters at the win32 layer. Need to do that.

Hardening
- Then we want to think about separating out mode render functions from mode update functions. Not sure its necessary but having something that operates like an update funciton but is called render is weird. Might want some sort of coroutine functionality in place, where modes can add and remove optional, parallel
update functions
- memory visualization
- separate rendering thread


UI Improvements
- shift drag to 10x drag speed
- Text editing improvements
-   - draw cursor in node field under active edit
-   - better/intelligent zero padding

Application
- More efficient HSV <-> RGB

Development
- Fix your scope time tracker to account for threads.
- Nest scope times so you can see totals/dig in

Optimization
- patterns are asking to be multithreaded
    - OOH I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS NOW!!! - each layer gets calculated independently, and combined
      so just do each layer on its own thread, then combine as they are finished
- probably want to convert as much color functions to use u32 Packed Colors
-  - Probably want to think about this more. What about supporting different color depths
-    for different output devices?

Name
- Splash screen (like blender) (thisll be fun)
-  - Image importer (stb image? or find a png > bmp converter for the image you have)
-  - Display on startup

STREAM #0: Metaprogramming
- Metaprogramming
    - fix memory layout (remeber to profile before and after)
- Make everything truly platform agnostic
    - Application DLL
        - math.h: present for trig functions (though this is part of the c-std lib, so it should be everywhere)
        - windows.h: only thing left is InterlockedIncrement and InterlockedAdd
    - Meta Layer
        - ???
Quickly got the search lister to use the correct index when filtering the list. 2019-10-30 16:10:15 +00:00			`TODO FOLDHAUS`

Refactored rect functionality of gs_vector_matrix to make it not conflict with windows headers (just added gs_ to all functions). refactored Profiler interface code to use the new interface layout system. 2020-03-22 05:44:44 +00:00			`STREAM #1: 3D Overhaul`

Implemented the structure for different layers to have blend modes. We now copy the led buffer for each assembly once per layer that has an active animation in it. The animations edit these temporary buffers, which are then blended together after all layers have created buffers, for each assembly. 2020-03-08 21:44:28 +00:00			`- clips cannot overlap eachother on the same layer`

Made modes work with hot code reloading, dealt with a bug in the search lister that allowed you to select an item from an empty list, pulled NodeRenderSettings back out into app_state, and generally filled out the operation mode system. 2019-11-02 17:29:51 +00:00			`BUGS`
