But you shouldn't design a UI framework like a game engine.
Wrong. Game engines excel at laying out high-fidelity data in
sync with a monitor's default refresh rate.
You are confusing rendering engine with UI API.
A game engine is designed for full redraw on every frame.
frame. A game engine will often include effects that get
rendered at half of the target framerate to save time.
You still do a full redraw of the framebuffer. Full frame.
Meaning not just tiny small clip rectangles like on x-windows.
For instance, there is no spatial datatructure that is
inherently better or more efficient than all other spatial
datastructures.
Wrong. Three- and four-dimensional vectors. We have hardware
registers to take advantage of them. Represent your object's
transformation with an object comprising a translation, a
quaternion rotation, and if you're feeling nice to your users a
scale vector.
Those are not spatial datastructures. (octrees, bsptrees etc are
spatial datastructures)
Really. Do tell me more. Actually, don't, because whatever you
say is going to be wrong and I'm not going to reply to it anyway
Good. Drink less, sleep more.
