| 26 Rendering: | |
| 27 | |
| 28 - [x] Vertex attributes, vertex data | |
| 29 - [x] Shaders (allow for predefined and custom shaders) | |
| 30 - [x] Uniforms | |
| 31 - [x] Per-instance vertex attributes (required to be able to draw scene graph) | |
| 580 | 32 - [x] Fixed framerate |
| 591 | 33 - [x] Instanced drawing (currently can use instance attributes, but we only support a single instance per draw call) |
| 502 | 34 - [ ] Textures |
| 35 - [ ] Depth buffering | |
| 36 - [ ] Mipmaps | |
| 37 - [ ] Multisampling | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Asset handling: | |
| 40 - [ ] Mesh files (Wavefront OBJ, MTL) (use something from sketchfab for testing, https://sketchfab.com/) | |
| 41 - [ ] Image files (BMP RGB + BMP Graysscale for transparency) | |

| 502 | 46 - [x] Mouse/Keyboard input handling |
| 47 - [x] X11 | |
| 48 - [x] Win32 | |
| 578 | 49 - [ ] Enable/disable hardware cursor |
