What exists:

• Some Direct3D 12 code for drawing UI rects
• Plugin system with hot reload (go into plugins folder and do odin run . to hot reload while program is running)

Upcoming milestones:

• Direct3D 12 rendering for tools programming: Basics rects + text + UI controls
• Some kind of simple interactive editor that can save / load data
• A separate rendering thread or some kind of rendering happening as a job in a job system

• hot reload

  • what if plugin API changes size? Then mem.copy in plugin_system.odin doesn't work.
    • preallocate maximum size for each API, or somehow hand out pointer to pointer... Perhaps the get_api can be fed a pointer it writes into instead of the other way around?
  • make debugging work (write PDB to unique path)
  • remove the runtime copies on start and shutdown

• introduce a separate rendering thread

  • we could do a job based system where command lists are created as jobs and then submitted
  • needs a renderer interface

• UI:

  • package?
