# plutoengine
|
|
|
|
My hobby game engine. This repository unifies all my previous Pluto repositories.
|
|
|
|
### Versioning
|
|
|
|
All submodules share a version number for simplicity reasons.
|
|
|
|
Since version `20.2.0.0-alpha.0`, PlutoEngine uses
|
|
a combined version of [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/)
|
|
and [calendar versioning](https://calver.org/), the first number
|
|
denotes the year.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, the version format is always `YY.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-prerelease`.
|
|
|
|
*Only `major` and `year` version changes will bring breaking API changes,
|
|
**except for pre-release versions**, which may introduce breaking changes
|
|
at any time. Pre-release versions will never increment the `minor` or `patch`
|
|
version numbers.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usability status of submodules
|
|
|
|
### Safe submodules
|
|
* **PlutoCore** - Stable
|
|
* **PlutoFramebuffer** - Stable
|
|
* **PlutoGUI** - Stable, awaiting a rewrite
|
|
* **PlutoMesher** - Stable
|
|
* **PlutoShader** - Stable
|
|
* **PlutoTexture** - Stable
|
|
* **PlutoSpriteSheet** - Stable, some features are unfinished
|
|
* **PlutoDisplay** - Stable, collision API nowhere near completion
|
|
* **PlutoUSS2** - Stable
|
|
* **PlutoLib** - Mostly stable
|
|
|
|
### Unstable submodules
|
|
* **PlutoRuntime** - Somewhat tentative, the module API has been rewritten and might contain bugs
|
|
* **PlutoAudio** - Somewhat usable, unfinished
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Current priorities
|
|
|
|
See `NEXT_RELEASE_DRAFT.md` for details.
|
|
|
|
### Very high priority
|
|
[ *Implemented in the current release.* ]
|
|
* Streamline PlutoLib, remove bad APIs and improve code quality
|
|
* Improve image loading capabilities, possibly rewrite PlutoLib#TPL
|
|
* The stage system and automated asset loading
|
|
|
|
### High priority
|
|
[ *Implemented in the next release.* ]
|
|
* Rewrite PlutoGUI
|
|
* Finish PlutoAudio
|
|
* Depends on the stage system
|
|
|
|
### Normal priority
|
|
[ *Planned for an upcoming release.* ]
|
|
* The collision system for PlutoStatic
|
|
|
|
### Low priority
|
|
[ *Items not required immediately, planned to be implemented eventually.* ]
|
|
* Allow multiple running instances of Pluto
|
|
* Alternatively, if this deems too difficult to implement,
|
|
prohibit the creation of more than one instance per JVM to avoid issues
|
|
* A networking API
|
|
* Re-add support for external mod jars to the ModLoader
|
|
* This feature requires a full rewrite and possibly a complete overhaul
|
|
* Mods should have limited execution levels, for example restricted file access
|
|
or disabled native library loading (this is probably not possible)
|
|
* Expand upon the Color API
|
|
* Color mixing and blending
|
|
* Color transformation
|
|
* High-performance serialization |
