terminal graphics

this is just a simple project for me to learn c++, don't expect too much :)
compile with: g++ -Wall Scene.cpp Renderer.cpp SceneManager.cpp Transform.cpp main.cpp Sprites/SpinningLine.cpp -o main
obviously you need gcc for this
yes there is no makefile, i'll do it later

initialization

• Scene(s) are created
• SceneManager is created
• Scenes are added to the SceneManager
• The first active scene is selected
• The main loop starts

main loop

a few things happen each frame:

sprite and scene logic

• a ProgramStateInfo object is created and passed to the active scene's OnFrame method
• in the scene's OnFrame method, scene logic happens
• UpdateSprites is called on the active scene, which calls all the sprites in the scene's OnFrame methods

rendering

• RasterizeSprites is called on the active scene, which calls all the sprites in the scene's Rasterize method
• Each sprite's pixels are ordered by its z-index
• post-processing will happen here (todo)
• final list of pixels is added to the pixel buffer on the renderer
• the pixel buffer of color objects is converted to one string to print on the renderer
• that string is printed to the screen
• the singleton debug box's contents are printed, if enabled
