Or maybe not like that. In the interest of getting the GL support landed, I'm going to go the minimal-impact route. I still want to have a Drawable implemented in GL calls (meaning that draw_line uses glVertex instead of Brezenham and put_pixel). But today, I've got schoolwork. It's not like last week with two math tests, but more like next week with two math assignments.
I'm keeping this diary so I can show my Grad Project advisor that the work I'll be presenting is my own. They're concerned about me presenting 'something' without being able to seperate my own work from anyone elses. Hopefully this diary will help.
I'm working on the Berlin project ATM. I've already released a patch that makes it run in OpenGL on top of SDL. Of course, with the patch applied, GGIMesa mode no longer works. I'm taking this as an opporunity to redesign the way that the Berlin Console and DrawingKits are defined.
The deal is that we've got lots of bits and pieces and no good organization. I'm sifting the code into categories to allow a better matching of optimized implentations. See, the LibArtDrawingKit implements the DrawingKit interface on top of basic Drawable operations. There's a slow impl of Drawable operations on top of a generic Framedevice, but if the fd is actually a GGIFramedevice, then we can use the GGIDrawable that runs faster. Like that.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
