To Do - oli-obk/gosu GitHub Wiki

To Do list

This list of tasks is exported automatically from my OmniFocus projects. (Last update: 2012-07-16)

Gosu 0.8.x

  • Make the wrapper's menu bar on OS X more complete
  • Fix implicit requirement to have "../gosu == ." in rake/linux.rb
  • Automatically create 'pkg' folder since git can't handle empty folders
  • Meditate: Imagine a Window::baseTransform that will affect Graphics and (inversed) Input - would this help games? Or rather add input un-transforming in general? Hmm!
  • Find out why SDL_mixer is still mentioned in the Wiki - should be unnecessary on Linux?
  • Fix/clarify TextInput vs. and &entities;
  • Put github upload back in place
  • More awesome Vertex Arrays
    • Pre-Multiply all vertex arrays
    • Come up with a nice memory union of DrawOp and ArrayVertex

  • Fork Gosu.tmbundle into its own git repository

    • Throw exception for multiple windows
    • Kill beginGL/endGL in favor of scheduleGL
    • Rename pimpl/Impl to p/Private
    • Order USB devices alphabetically (so gamepad 0 is always 0)

    • Remove the "from_" from "from_hsv" and "from_ashv", and deprecate Color#initialize
    • Deprecate Image::getData, introduce Image::data
    • Make Window::needsCursor return true by default
    • Rename all those Ruby examples and feature_tests

  • Get GLFW working on OS X
  • Get GLFW working on Linux

  • Assure Gosu::File also creates directories as necessary
  • more C++ examples

  • Fix Unicode support for SDL_TTF port (see feature_tests/UnicodeTest.rb, @loc_test)
  • Fix exceptions being turned into segfaults on Linux (see GoogleCode issue)
  • See if clipping coordinate calculation is correct with all transformations considered (why is Terava off by one pixel?)
  • Ensure that Gosu::Song: currentSong is never 0'ed asynchronously (who is setting that variable anyway? Me right?)
