Hell if I know. Right now it's just a small project to play with SDL2 and OpenGL with. Using the latest Nim devel branch.
I did half-heartedly try to compile with --gc:arc to see how that is coming along, but didn't feel like chasing down the errors in printing unsigned ints in the v2 repr implementation just yet.
With all of the submodules pulled, nim build to build it.
To regenerate src/microui.nim, apply the vendor/microui-c2nim.patch to
the microui header file. This adds a couple of things to help c2nim to translate
the header cleanly. I hand modified mu_Color in the resulting file to have
byte members rather than cuchar, so the compiler won't complain about
assigning integers to the fields.

Coalesce BlocksCharacter into rects for Blockset
-
Fill out level object.
- multiple layers
- layers can have tint and a scaling for parallax scrolling.
- Add editor that allows placement of blocksets into a layer
- Snap to grid for 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 in a control somewhere.
- multiple layers
-
add simple char, and have it:
- move
- fall
- collide with BlockCharacter rects from the Blocksets

✓ TTF font support
Previously, have used guillotine partitioning to divide up a texture into areas the TTF library can cache into. It can be a little complicated, and can have interesting fragmentation issues.- ✓ Change ui support to use ttf fonts instead of debug vector fonts.
- ✓ Possible simplification 1: Have a per-font/size glyph cache, that we subdivide vertically into font-height strips. Letters go into those as we encounter them. No expectatation that a character will be removed from the cache, so no book-keeping to deal with that for non-monospaced fonts. Slightly more complicated than just generating a bitmap font from a TTF, but allows chars we didn't anticipate.
- Add escapes and change buffers so coloring can change within a text?
- ~~ Possible simplification 2: Cache sentences, but using same per font/size cache with a texture vertically divided into font-height strips. Perhaps more efficient, but more bookkeeping needs to be done, as pieces of text will be expiring constantly.~~
