Module mesh 

Meshes: the two traits a game’s mesh types implement, the data they build, the draws of them, and the set of every mesh a game draws.

A mesh is a type of the game’s own — Ship, Crate — or one of the engine’s primitives. It implements Catalog, which lists every value of it a game ever draws, and Mesh, whose build returns the MeshData that value is made of, out of the Assets startup loaded. meshes! holds the types a game draws in one set, and Game::Meshes names that set. A draw is Mesh::at over a value, set up by the calls on Instance, and passed to ctx.draw, which takes a mesh of the game’s own set and no other; startup builds and uploads everything the set catalogs, so a game whose meshes fit Config::with_mesh_memory, 256 MiB unless set, builds none of them in a frame.

A build that names what startup did not load stops startup, under the mesh type’s own name.

Structs

Cube

A one-meter cube centered on the origin.

Frame

The part of a texture a draw samples.

Instance

A draw a game builds and submits: a mesh’s position, its turn, the part of its textures it samples, the style it is drawn with, the fade over its slots, and any materials that override its slot defaults.

MeshData

A mesh’s vertices and indices, in the slots the parts P select, posed by the clips C name.

Plane

A one-meter square in the XZ plane, facing up — a surface under a scene.

Quad

A one-meter square in the XY plane, facing the default camera.

Sheet

A texture’s cells, laid out in a grid.

Slot

What one part of a mesh draws with: a material and its maps, over some of the mesh’s triangles.

Sphere

A one-meter sphere centered on the origin.

Vertex

One corner of a mesh.

Enums

NoClips

The vocabulary of a mesh no clip poses.

NoMeshes

The set of a game that draws no mesh of its own.

NoParts

The vocabulary of a mesh with no parts a draw repaints one at a time.

Traits

Clip

A name for one clip a mesh is posed by.

Mesh

A type that is a mesh: a draw is a value of it and a transform.

Meshes

The set of every mesh type a game draws, named as Game::Meshes.

Part

A name for one repaintable part of a mesh.
