TODO FOLDHAUS

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
- turn the default sculpture view into an operation mode ? (have to think about this)
- 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
-  - Log memory allocations
- separate rendering thread
- cache led positions. Only update if they are moving
-  - shift drag to 10x drag speed

UI Improvements
- highlight node field under active edit
- draw cursor in node field under active edit
x print node field names on hover or on the node
- Mouse Held Commands
- Actual cursor states

API Improvements
x Clean up DrawString... good lord
x Add Text Alignment to DrawString
- Investigate why we're giving nodes bounds :NodesDontNeedToKnowTheirBounds 
-    - Cant we just calculate this at render time?
- Move nodes over to referencing eachother based on a UID system
- separate out interface nodes from computation nodes (interface in a binary/quad tree?)

Application
- More efficient HSV <-> RGB
- Save and load a session
- Don't render if the window isn't visible

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

Interface
- fullscreen
- In world interface elements
-   - Handles for Patterns
-   - UI Popups
-   - Value modifiers
- Scroll view
- Update the text system - use system fonts

Switch To Nodes
- selector node (has a list of connections that it can switch between)
- delete nodes
- remove node connections
- Serialize Nodes
- evaluation step (one node at a time)

Structure
- motion

Renderer
- Mouse Picking - point at a led and see info about it
- Camera: pan
- Camera: zoom
- Camera: leds always face camera

Resource Management
- TODO: Need to figure out which textures are currently in graphics memory and which need to be resubmitted
- Icons

Animation
- timeline
- create clips that play
- clips can have parameters that drive them?
- clips should have prerequesites
-  - channels active
-  - patterns active in the channel
-  - when a clip is playing, it should just take over the whole structure

Command Line
- select a channel/pattern

Optimization
- patterns are asking to be multithreaded
- 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
Quickly got the search lister to use the correct index when filtering the list. 2019-10-30 16:10:15 +00:00			`TODO FOLDHAUS`

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`

Fixed up a bunch of node lister, search lister, and text entry stuff. Began playing with modes 2019-11-01 11:17:46 +00:00
