lib.rs

//! roxlap-render — unified CPU/GPU renderer facade.
//!
//! One [`SceneRenderer`] hides the choice between the CPU opticast
//! path (`roxlap-core` / `roxlap-scene`, presented via `softbuffer`)
//! and the GPU compute-shader path (`roxlap-gpu`, presented via its
//! own wgpu surface). Construction picks the GPU backend when asked
//! and able, and **falls back to CPU automatically** when WGPU init
//! fails — so a host never has to branch on GPU availability or carry
//! the `Scene`→GPU upload/refresh/transform glue itself.
//!
//! Hosts stay thin: build a `Scene`, advance it from input, then call
//! [`SceneRenderer::render`] each frame. The facade owns the window
//! surface, the framebuffer/z-buffer (CPU) or the resident scene +
//! dirty-chunk tracking (GPU), and presentation.
//!
//! The per-frame flow is `render` → *(optional overlays)* → finish.
//! Between [`SceneRenderer::render`] and the finishing
//! [`SceneRenderer::present`] / [`SceneRenderer::paint_egui`] call, a
//! host may overlay depth-tested world-space lines with
//! [`SceneRenderer::draw_lines`] (editor gizmos, debug geometry — see
//! [`Line3`]); they land in the framebuffer, occluded by the rendered
//! scene, with egui still painting panels on top.
//!
//! This is the RF.0 skeleton: backend selection + fallback + a
//! clear-to-sky frame. RF.1/RF.2 fill in the real CPU/GPU scene
//! render; RF.3 adds sprites; RF.4 adds framebuffer capture.
