This issue tracks the progress of the initial prototyping phase.

None of the features listed here need to (or even should) be final, tidy or optimized in any way, this is just prototyping.

Basics: World rendering, movement, entities

(Probably in this order)

Project and engine base structure
Sprite rendering
Tilemaps (statically defined in code)
Debug text rendering (FPS counter, easy to add more debug information)
Basic entity system (simple sprite entities)
Character movement (static camera)
Collision detection
Map system (loading and switching between maps, still static maps)
Map transitions (areas that teleport the player to a different map)
Simple entity mining (player can make entities disappear)
Character state (mining entity increases a simple item counter)
World state (entities keep their state between map switches, e.g. mined entities disappear permanently)

Extended engine features

(Not necessarily in this order)

Logging system / error handling
Loading maps from files (e.g. created with Tiled)
Save files
GPU accelerated rendering (shaders and stuff)
Camera system, world vs. screen coordinates
UI system (static frames/boxes, buttons, text, event handling)
Input system (map keys to actions, use actions instead of raw keys in game code)
Scenes/screens (menu, main game, settings screen)
Pause screen

Gameplay features

Item system (mining entities yields different types of items - no inventory yet, just print mined items)
Inventory system (player can hold different types of items, inventory can be displayed)
Interacting with items in inventory (e.g. drop items, use items (prints text))
Placing entities from items
(... add more ...)
