Synchronized application calls and frame rendering issue #50

Closed aconstlink closed 7 months ago

aconstlink commented 7 months ago

While porting the old engines's test suites, it occurred to me that things need rewrite, yet again.

The window classes can not be called for rendering a frame because shared data could be used with multiple windows, so there is an inevitable race condition because there is no synchronized update call!
This leads to a second issue with coordinated synchronized calls for the user. This was all done in the old engine with the app class.

Implemented. User can update graphics objects within a single synced on_graphics event and then call all rendering commands within the on_render events via the frontend class, all from within the new app class.

Also inserted imgui back into the app class for a more integrated experience. Right now there is one imgui instanciation per created window.
