v0.3.0 Epic - Githubissues

This issue represents the top level effort required to build v0.3.0.

Summary

The v0.3.0 release targets taking the graphical capabilities to the next level.

Thoughts

Make an effort to reduce the cognitive load required to create a new simulation.
Have the About dialog dynamically display the versions of everything. This should be similar to VSCode.

Desired Behaviors Inspired by The Pinocchio Problem

Never reboot. Enable sim developers to keep the app running while building sims.
The shell should be really useful.
Provide hooks for before/after of key sim components. This is called an advice system.
Proper Plugins. Enable creating things on top of the core app. I did this in JoJo Studio to great effect. Look at how emacs does this.
Killer App. Creating a new sim from scratch should be really, really easy. Top down, Side to Side, 3D fixed angled camera.
Introspective. The Dearpygui monitoring needs to be ported to WebGPU.
The UI should have a consistent design philosophy.

Sims

Complete	Item	Notes
[ ]	Robust Landscape Pipeline	Replace the current landscape pipeline with Dual Contours
[ ]	Mesh Tessellation	Replace the FanTesselator
[ ]	Memory Optimization	Profile the memory consumption and optimize as needed. Look at packages objgraph, pympler, cProfile, memory_profiler

Complete	Item	Notes
[ ]	Physics Solver	Integrate with an existing physics solver (e.g. Raptor)

Complete	Item	Notes
[X]	File -> Open Landscape
[ ]	File -> New Landscape
[ ]	Landscape Editor
[ ]	Sim Hot Reload	Structure the simulation engine so changes can be made while a sim is running. Hot reload of the sim file, tasks, renderers, etc.

Complete	Item	Notes
[ ]	Clean up logging.
[ ]	Get the code coverage under control.
[ ]	Get the source docs hosted.
[ ]	Start tracking code metrics.
