[Build System]
- Integrate 'sqlite3' and 'sqlite_modern_cpp' using FetchContent.
- Enabled 'C' language to allow compilation of 'sqlite3' lib.
[Persistance]
- Adds a 'DatabaseManager' class to handle all SQLite operations.
- Creates a 'players' table on server startup.
- Server uses separate database for single-player 'bettola_sp.db' and
'bettola.db'
[UI]
- Adds a new 'LoginScreen' UI.
- Game flow is now MainMenu -> LoginScreen -> bootSequence -> Desktop.
- 'LoginScreen' has interactive tabs to switch between "Login" and
"Create Account" 'modes'.
- Full client-server communication for creating accounts and
authentication.
[Server]
- Refactor 'NetworkManager' to handle an 'AUTHENTICATING' state for new
connectiosn.
- Player state is only set to 'ACTIVE' after a successful login
This mirrors the previous refactor of the TextRenderer. All calls to
draw_rect and draw_triangle now buffer vertex data (position and color).
A begin()/flush() system is introduced to manage batching.
The UI codebase was suffering with complexity due to the need to
manually convert between two different coordinate systems:
- Top-down "screen coordinates" used by SDL for input and windowing.
- Bottom-up "GL coordinates" used by low-level renderers.
This was making layout calculations diffucult and is bug prone.
With this commit, I'm introducing a 'UIRenderer' abstraction layer that
wraps the low-level 'ShapeRenderer' and 'TextRenderer'. This is
responsible for centralising all coordinate system conversations.
All UI components has been refactored to use the 'UIRenderer' so the
entire UI code opeates exclusively in a single, top-down screen
coordinate system as one would expect.
- Adds a taskbar that displays and manages open application windows
- close, minimise and restore functionality
- resizeable windows
- Refactored desktop event handling to manage window focus and render
order
Introduces a central GameState class to manage the client's lifecycle,
network connection and UI components. The Terminal has been demoted to a
pure UI widget and main has been simplified to a basic entrypoint as
they should be!
