- Program specs are now loaded from json instead of being defined in code and registered manually.
- Within the json spec, a program can define a list of states.
- A state consists of:
- A "when" clause.
- A list of strings to be #defined.
- A list of extensions to apply at program link time.
- Each frame, the first state whose "when" clause returns true will be used.
- A when clause consists of:
- A state provider defined by a resource location.
- A value to match.
- When the value returned by the provider matches the value defined in the when clause, the when clause is considered to be 'true'.
- There is syntactic sugar for when a provider returns a boolean value.
- This system is in its infancy, and there is plenty of room for improvement.
- All material shaders now use the template system.
- Because of the template system, we can know what attributes a material has, along with how they're formatted.
- All of the *Attribute enums are effectively inlined, as the context they used to provide is no longer needed.
- Instead, MaterialSpecs store the information
- RenderMaterials are now generic on InstanceData instead of InstancedModel
- RenderMaterials are directly constructed with and store a MaterialSpec
- Move CreateClient.kineticRenderer to Backend
- InstancedTileRenderers keep track of their own queuedUpdates
- Sort of a listener system for some render events
