Wyatt TODO list

• Stop using AST nodes for storage

  • Create separate wrapper types for int, float, bool, vectors, matrices, buffers, textures, lists
    • Use glm for vector and matrix internal types
  • Modify scope lists to store those wrapper types
    • Formalize pass by value vs. pass by reference semantics
      • int, float, bool as value, everything else as reference
      • copy constructors for reference objects
  • Modify eval_* expressions to return just those
  • Modify transpiler to use those types (side effect: remove need for resolve_* functions?)

• Speed up certain parts

  • Make inverse, transpose, etc. built-in functions (ie. not in standard library)
    • Use glm to handle those

• Decouple renderer from interpreter

  • Create separate GLRenderer class
  • Add functions for creating graphics objects, manipulating them, calling functions
  • Remove GL* references from AST nodes and transpiler, use GLRenderer
  • Create dummy renderer for headless interpreter (pass renderer to interpreter constructor)
