Description...

Tickmarks (✔) indicate completed tasks. Ellipses (...) indicate ongoing tasks.

• Conceptual: World, Camera, Screen coordinates

• Retrieve context

• Initialize viewport

• Write and load shaders

  • Nothing fancy (for now)
  • Ambient and point lighting
  • Helper functions (loading, attaching)
  • Consider XMLHttpRequest

• Initialize buffers

  • Ground
  • A few simple shapes
  • Textures or colours

• Implement rendering console.logic

• Implement animation console.logic

  • Time handling (timer object, fixed FPS, global state?)
  • Create physics objects (encapsulating state)
  • Acceleration, impacts, forces
  • Jumping

• Implement input console.logic

  • WASD for moving around
  • Mouse for looking around
  • Space for jumping
  • Configuration GUI?

• Fun experiments

  • Gaussian blur
  • Warped textures
  • Folded textures
  • Run-time texture binding

• Good practice

  • Comments, unit labels
  • Optimizations
  • Organize code into reusable modules (ie. objects) -- Encapsulate buffers, shaders, textures behind high-level mesh objects -- Matrix
