SDL Based Renderer #4

Open avarsh opened 5 years ago

avarsh commented 5 years ago

Currently the renderer is based upon Open GL, but is only a prototype - it has issues such as having a max buffer size for vertices. An SDL based renderer would still be somewhat low level but allow the rendering system to be more functionally complete.

SDL2 supports batching as of 2018: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/d377f3ccade7 and https://www.patreon.com/posts/project-sdl-21856507 hence it should be possible to have similar performance.

Update: it appears that the batching didn't make it into 2.0.9 - but it is available in the development builds of SDL.
