Renderer (C++ / ASM code)

The renderer:

• Renders meshes
• Renders billboard sets
• Does simple transformations (rotation, scaling, translation)
• Performs 3D clipping
• Performs 2D clipping
• Performs projection
• Does backculling
• Performs Z-sorting

The rasterizer:

• Draws textured triangles
• Handles mipmapping
• Handles alpha blending
• Applies solid color per triangle
• Applies quadratic fog per fragment
• Performs perspective correction
• Does not perform texture filtering
• Does not draw anti-aliased edges
• Align vertex coordinates to nearest pixel coordinates

The lighting system:

• Handles point lights
• Handles directional lights
• Handles ambient lights

Backends (Native OS code)

window / draw / gamepad / timing

The backend - Windows version:

• Handles windows creation / management
• Handles mouse events
• Handles keyboard events
• Handles graphic contexts with GDI
• Handles joysticks with rumble support (with Microsoft XInput V1.3 drivers)
• Supports Windows XP / 7 / 8 and 10 OS
• Supports fullscreen mode

The backend - Linux version:

• Handles windows creation / management (with X11)
• Handles mouse events (with X11)
• Handles keyboard events (with X11)
• Handles graphic contexts (with X11)
• Handles joysticks with rumble support (with evdev interface)
• Supports virtually all Linux based OS

The backend - MacOS version:

• Similar to Linux version
• Needs X11 (XQuartz) for MacOS
• No native COCOA support
• No joysticks support yet (soon)

File formats

Supported bitmap / texture formats:

• Uncompressed 24bit RGB windows bitmap
• Uncompressed 32bit RGBA windows bitmap
• Import & export functions

Supported 3D model formats:

• Wavefront OBJ
• Import & export functions

Limitations

• No Z-buffer
• No anti-aliasing
• Single core support
