TileMap Heroes

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
1	note				✅ Added to AllegroFlare under legacy/tilemap and essentially all functionality is superseeded otherwise in TileMaps::					✅ Added to AllegroFlare
2	repo name		AllegroFlare/TileMaps	Adventures of Beary	tilemap	beary2d	dungeon	bearys_bash	NormalMapTileMap	tileo <- this is the best tilemap ⚠️Tileo has been incorporated to allegro_flare	Ideal - UnnamedGameFramework::

3	description		Ideal landing spot for all the tilemap work. Tileo has been integrated	🏆Has some legacy commented code from when I was working on casted light and normal-lit tiles. Epic shit Probably on older laptop in branch	has the simplest kind of TileMap itself, but the external features (convolution, etc) are pretty good.	seems to be a relatively comprehensive, somewhat codependent set of individual pieces for a 2d tilemap game		5 layers, isolated collision layer, extra environment layer		started with adventures of beary tilemap/atlas/etc. It's a refactor, possibly a consolidation of the ideal features of the different tilemaps :)	Does Not Exist
4
5	Tile			🚫none.	🔸just an ALLEGRO_BITMAP*, only exists as an array in TileMap	✅is a bitmap and a set of flags, thin		map_tile_struct
6	TileIndexInfo			✅Yes. 🏆problibly the most complex and feature-possible tile definitions. Maybe too coupled with what's necessary	🚫none. Basically is just whatever data can be inferred by ALLEGRO_BITMAP*
7	tile index			🚫none present, implemented as TileAtlas	🔸essentially the sprite sheet			vector<tile_refrence_struct> in map_class
8	Tile Atlas			✅Yes 👍has more complex referencing mechanism, see TileIndexInfo 🙅‍♂️A bit sloppy, leaky	🔸A variable called "atlas" inside SpriteSheet 🏆SpriteSheet creates dedicated clone of incoming atlas bitmap, and creates dedicated sub-bitmaps, responsibly destroys all on destruction	🔸not explicit, but is an ALLEGRO_BITMAP in the TileIndex, and managed within it
9	Sprite Sheet			🔸Actually is mostly implemented as "TileAtlas"	✅yes 🏆Decopuled, isolated from all dependencies 🔸does not padd sprites		✅yes 🏆Decopuled, isolated from all dependencies				- decoupled, isolated from passed in bitmap
10	Tile Layer				🚫does not exist, TileMap exisits as a single-layer tile grid	✅does nice bounds clipping when drawn, really nice, it integrates with Camera2D, has functions to convert world coords to tile coords
11	Tile Map	🔺probably not needed. It's basically a world map or level map, has layers but only tile things. probably should be composite with characters and stuff		💫🧐🤔ooh looks promising	✅A one-layered layer. The same as a TileLayer in other places. ℹ️Tiles are ALLEGRO_BITMAP*s only						contains tilemap info completely separate from rendering/caching
12	some other mechanism of tile map			🔸NewBearyMap < TileMapBase 🔸composite of TileMap	🚫none present						(n/a)
13	renders with a single mesh			✅Yes. is stored as a vertex_buffer, and actually contains some dual implementation code for a single mesh and/or a single primitive	🚫Does not. Renders individual bitmaps one by one (but are from an atlas'd bitmap)						renders to a single bitmap once. Does not need to render every frame
14	renders tiles with "padded" edges			✅Yes. Extrudes in the TileAtlas when building an atlas.	🚫Does not.	🚫Does not.	🚫Does not.				padds edges
15	creates sub-bitmaps				✅does. and is completely managed inside the SpriteSheet, cloning the passed source bitmap 🏆no dependency of passed bitmaps! epic!		✅yes. They're stored in SpriteSheet as vec<ALLEGRO_BITMAP*> sprites				creates sub-bitmaps
16	Has complex vector format for normal-mapped tiles			🔸possibly, in a branch maybe on my other laptop	🚫No.						Has vector format for normal-mapped tiles
17	scales bitmaps linearally to preserve pixel style during scaling				🚫No. is actually disabled. Relies on scaled render at display projection for that		✅definitely. Uses allegro_flare's create_pixel_perfect_scaled_render				scales bitmaps linearally to preserve pixel style during scaling
18
19	editable			has a cool "StyleDrafter" class, and __post_process_map, where fun stuff happens. __post_process_map maybe dep'd by convolution filters							- provides generative features for randomized styling, etc
20	Collision Response					🏆TileMap has cool get_next_collided_tile_coords() that returns vec<vec2i> of tile positions for next collided tiles 🏆Has dedicated TileMapCollisionHelper with collision response mechanisms for tile map		proven			- provides collisions of "next" tiles - has
21	TMX Loading							no, uses custom format			loads TMX format
22	Convolution										- provides generative features for randomized styling, capping, edging, variants, etc...
