This gets rid of the "batch/flush" semantics for #set_pixel
and instead just directly uploads the pixel color to the
texture, circumventing the float conversion entirely.
Also makes a lot of code simpler in many places as calling
'flush()' is no longer required for bitmaps.
An exception is made of TexPool, which will need a
bit more testing before transitioning to std containers.
Also replace 'int' with 'size_t' where it is used only
as an array index.
The general rule I'm aiming for is to <> include
system wide / installed paths / generally everything
that's outside the git managed source tree (this means
mruby paths too!), and "" include everything else,
ie. local mkxp headers.
The only current exception are the mri headers, which
all have './' at their front as to not clash with
system wide ruby headers. I'm leaving them be for now
until I can come up with a better general solution.
Releasing a Tilemap atlas into the pool on every map switch
will blow out tons of smaller textures for very little gain,
as atlas textures are already pretty much impossible to
recycle anywhere but in new Tilemaps.
Using "SDL2/SDL_xxx.h" instead of "SDL_xxx.h" caused
the include paths provided by pkg-config to be ignored,
and headers from a standard include path to be used instead.
If consecutive scanrows in the scene list have no foreign
elements in between them, we batch them up and draw them
in one glDrawElements() call.
This should reduce the Tilemap induced draw calls on
average by at least 50 percent.
The atlas packing algorithm has been reworked to pack autotiles
and tileset very efficiently into a texture, splitting the tileset
in multiple ways and eliminating the previous duplication of image
data in the atlas across "frames". Animation, which these frames
were designed for, is now done via duplicated buffer frames,
ie. each animation frame has its own VBO and IBO data. This was
not done to save on VRAM (hardly less memory is used), but to
make place for the new atlas layout.
Thanks to this new layout, even with a max texture size of 2048,
one can use tilesets with up to 15000 height. Of course, such
a tileset couldn't be stored in a regular Bitmap to begin with,
which is why I also introduced a hack called "mega surfaces":
software surfaces stored in RAM and wrapped inside a Bitmap,
whose sole purpose is to be passed to a Tilemap as tilesets.
Various other minor changes and fixes are included.
The drawing is now completely shader based, which makes away
with all usage of the depracted matrix stack. This also allows
us to do things like simple translations and texture coordinate
translation directly instead of doing everything indirectly
through matrices.
Fixed vertex attributes ('vertexPointer()' etc) are also
replaced with user defined attribute arrays.
