No, I wouldn't touch OpenGL.  I'm talking about generating textures
in-memory; they would then be passed off to the main thread for use by
OpenGL.  We're a long way from that, though, so there's no need to
worry.

What you need to do is isolate the tile manager completely, so that it
has (almost) no dependencies on the rest of the program, except for
one structure for data exchange.


All the best,
