Todo

Here some ideas for improving this tiny engine:

Rendering

• replace the OpenGL renderer with a Vulkan backend
• add animatable sprites (access to UV mapping and tiling)
• add a SDF based renderer (parametric tiles and font rendering)

Game Support

• audio!
• some minimal animation system with tweening with different f-curves

System Level

• add a Asset handler to load cache and manage assets
• introspection of file system if we load assset

Design

• replace some of the 'unkown source' assets

Build / Dev Support

• add a test rig either with Snitch or Catch2
• write some reasonable testcases
