- BufferedModel is no longer abstract.
- InstancedModel no longer inherits from BufferedModel, it accepts one as input.
- Replace usage of IndexedModel with BufferedModel
- 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.
- Instead, BufferBuilderReader can decode parts of a BufferBuilder.
- BufferedModel and its subclasses are now created directly with a ByteBuffer.
- ContraptionModel renamed to IndexedModel.
- InstancedModel and IndexedModel both now take model formats as arguments.
- All of this allows for better abstraction, composition, and control of models rendered with Flywheel.
