| 663 | 117 Handling of assets |
| 118 ------------------ | |
| 119 | |
| 120 A short description how I want to handle assets. | |
| 121 | |
| 122 Support for file formats (super limited, no external dependencies, uses quite a bit of space, hoping for zip): | |
| 123 | |
| 124 - Images: BMP | |
| 125 - Audio: AU | |
| 684 | 126 - Mesh: glTF (\*.gld) |
| 663 | 127 |
| 128 In-memory layout of assets (everything needs to be converted to those while loading): | |
| 129 | |
| 130 - Images: 4 channel with each uint8 = 32 bit RGBA, little endian (R is low bits, A is high bits) | |
| 131 - Audio: 2 Channel 16 bit signed little endian, 44100Hz | |
| 132 - Meshes: non-interleaved, lists of values for each vertex, one list per attribute | |
