-## Introduction
-
-This file serves as a general planning document for engine structure, systems, pipelines, and implementation.
-
-
-Implementations of core engine systems should strive to be `O(1)` in implementations, 
-both in terms of runtime and memory performance. This is obviously not a realistic goal, 
-so rather than the goal requiring the entire engine to be `O(1)`, we should more specifically look
-at achieving `O(1)` performance on hot paths. I distinctly use 'strive' and 'goal' as different concepts, where designs
-should *strive* to accommodate function implementations for `O(1)`, however the specifics of the implementation might not always
-be able to achieve that, so the end *goal* is that hot paths should be `O(1)`.
-
-Functions should be highly verbose and any bugprone or erroneous behaviour should throw
-assertions. **DO NOT USE EXCEPTIONS**.
-
-System implementations should be independent of architecture or platforms. i.e. the code of the graphics system should 
-not care if OpenGL or Vulkan is used and should not use any direct calls to OpenGL or Vulkan.
-
-The engine should not care about the types of objects loaded from a so/dll. In fact, most of the code should
-be type independent. Any shared information among a collection of objects should be held either implicitly or explicitly
-in the super-class. It will be the responsibility of the linked code to initialize and cleanup the objects related to it.
-This principle should extend to the submodules of the engine.
-
-It is also best to avoid objects having behaviour that is not defined by the system they are in. There are some exceptions
-in extensions or mods and should be given configurability and programmability within those systems and their stages.
-This however can be achieved using events at different stages of those engines that are on-demand.
-

-### File Security Ramblings:
-
-Windows is starting to piss me off, so I am considering dropping official support for MSVC. MinGW and Cygwin
-will still work for compiling on Windows if this ends up being the case. The reason for this is that there are
-*a lot* of platform dependent security issues. MinGW and Cygwin wrap Linux and glibc headers for Windows, which would 
-push the security onus onto the compiler and end-user.
-
-The biggest blocker at the moment in terms of this is the filesystem. If we want to implement a filesystem that
-is safe across platforms, stdc++ *and* iso libc have no guarantees about the safety of their functions.
-
-The crux of this issue falls at the following specific behaviour:
- - User selects an existing file to write to
- - Application interface confirms overwrite action
- - Application writes to the file after confirmation
-
-A threat actor can introduce a malicious file or symlink to the file that was attempted access between the check and  
-usage of the file. This is called TOCTOU (time of check, time of use).
-
-This issue can be solved using `fopen("<file>", "a+")` and `ftell`, however this specific behaviour is not intuitive to  
-those first learning how to work with file systems. We can attempt to abstract this away with another wrapper, or simply  
-write the file structure to handle this behaviour properly. The downside to this method overall is that it will break  
-common conventions of how humans interpret filesystems and the related control flow logic. What we can do is force the  
-`'+'` flag to always be present for write operations, and raise an error when desired, if the file is not empty. This  
-unfortunately would have the downside of being unable to open a file as write only.
-
-Using `"wx"` in this instance would not be sufficient since it would require a second call to fopen, which would  
-create the conditions for the TOCTOU error described above.
-
-Another issue arises when we are parsing a directory tree. The best we can do is take ownership of the directory that  
-is opened as the root. However, this requires `dirent.h` which is not implemented in MSVC. A  custom implementation of  
-`dirent.h` may be written for MSVC, however this is one of the few things I am not willing to outsource to another  
-library. Developing our own implementation would take a non-insignificant amount of time, between writing the library,  
-debugging it, and testing for vulnerabilities. As stated above, this implementation is native to MinGW and Cygwin,  
-so we would not have to entirely drop support for Windows. However, MSVC is the most widely used compiler for Windows  
-applications and is native to Visual Studio and VSCode.
-
-What is probably the best solution is to wrap everything in a file interface that does not allow the direct setting of  
-these flags. Then we set our own usage type for the file that informs which flags should be used. 
-
-We need to be able to handle the following types of files:
- - Assets, such as scenes, audio, textures, metadata, meshes, etc.
- - Save files, setting files, etc.
-
-One of the nice things about the assets is that they are guaranteed to be read-only once an application is installed  
-on the computer of the end-user. Therefore, this issue only arises with save files and custom file formats.
-
-When the editor is run, all these files should be opened in read/write mode.
-
-Naming conventions should exist for the types of files and how they are read. For example, in release mode,  
-most assets should be opened once, and then closed immediately. However, this does not make sense for formats  
-that are continuous and too large to be kept around in memory, such as video formats.
-
-Perhaps the following conventions:
- - Static Asset
- - Stream Asset
- - Resource
-
-We can turn this into an object-oriented approach by having different formats inherit these base types. We may still  
-have a base file type that wraps C functionality, but discourage developers from using the interface. 
-
-We could also declare the file interface extern so that only internal files know the implementation. However, I would  
-not be satisfied by doing this since it would prevent developers from implementing custom file type implementations.
-
-Conserving memory is not really an issue here as long as we are smart about our implementation. Files should only be  
-open when necessary and be closed when it is no longer necessary to have them open. Data should be streamed unless the  
-all the data in the file is required.
-
-When built in release mode, we also need to pack static assets into some sort of archive that is mountable to reduce  
-disk space consumption of a program.
-
-I was considering encryption for archives, however it does not make much sense. Assuming someone intends to pirate the  
-game, there is not much stopping them from running the files. I will add Steam support at some point which would allow  
-you to use Steam's DRM to prevent the executable from being run. Otherwise, there is no point in attempting to encrypt  
-game files. Even Unreal PAK files can be cracked in seconds, and even if I managed to write something that cannot be  
-trivially cracked locally, you can scrape most assets from the GPU and Audio Card.
-
-I have managed to solve the specific case provided at the top of this section, which was done by wrapping C I/O calls  
-into a file wrapper. This wrapper can handle a few different mode flags and has specific conditions for the flags. See  
-the documentation for `fennec/langproc/io/file.h` for more info.
-
-One question remains unanswered on this front; should a read/write file open as `r+` or `a+`. `rewind` is slightly faster  
-than `fseek(SEEK_END)`, however for the case of save files and editor assets, `r+` makes more sense from a usage perspective
-
-Directories remain an issue, with `dirent.h` being the only sensible option at time of writing. The issue with using  
-`dirent.h` boils back down to security issues on Windows. However, the only option is to write a custom implementation  
-for MSVC.
-
-
-### Platform & API Support
-
-I have decided to forgo SDL, this is so the engine can provide specific support for specific platforms.
-Also, SDL implements a lot of things that will need to be implemented specifically for the engine, so only the window
-management would be used.
-
-Platform support will be implemented in the following order:
- - Linux/BSD
-   - Wayland
-     - OpenGL (EGL) ✔
-     - XKB
-     - PulseAudio
-     - Vulkan
-   - X11
-     - ALSA
-     - Vulkan
- - Microsoft Windows
-   - XInput
-   - OpenGL (WGL)
-   - WASAPI
-   - Vulkan
- - Android
-   - OpenGL ES
-   - AAudio
-   - openslES
- - macOS/iOS
-   - cocoa
-     - OpenGL
-     - Core Audio
-     - Vulkan
-     - Metal
-
-Linux Wayland will be implemented first. Once setup, the core engine will be implemented and tested on top of Wayland.
-Once the engine is in a stable state, then support for other platforms will be resumed.
-
-Most consoles will never get official platform support due to NDAs which conflict with the principles of this engine.
-fennec will avoid using proprietary libraries except when strictly necessary, such as support for Windows and MacOS.
-fennec will interact with any drivers required for the listed operating systems above, even if proprietary.
-
-
-## C++ Language Library (`lang`)
-
-Implement header files for standard functions relating to the C++ Language.
-
-So far this is implemented on an as-needed basis. A full implementation should be worked on continuously.
-
-
-
-
-
-## Math Library (`math`)
-
-Implement math functions according to the [OpenGL 4.6 Shading Language Specification](https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL/specs/gl/GLSLangSpec.4.60.pdf).
-
-"Extensions" has a different meaning here. Extensions for the math library are any functions that are not defined within
-the Specification.
-
-Additional extensions should be implemented to provide standard definitions for functions predominantly related
-to Linear Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, and more specifically Discrete Analysis. Additional extensions will be 
-implemented on an as-needed basis.
-
-
-
-
-
-## Memory Library (`memory`)
-
-Implement headers related to memory allocation in C++.
-
- * Smart Pointers
-   * Unique Pointer
-   * Shared Pointer
-
- - Memory Allocation
-   - Allocation
-   - 
-
-
-
-
-## Containers Library (`containers`)
-
-All containers of the [C++ Standard Library](https://cppreference.com/w/cpp/container.html) should be implemented.
-
-Here are essential data-structures not specified in the C++ stdlib:
- - Graph &rarr; AI `graph`
-   - Necessary for 2D and 3D navigation.
- - Rooted Directed Tree &rarr; Scene `rd_tree`
-   - Defines the scene structure.
-
-
-
-
-
-## Language Processing (`langproc`)
-
-This library contains information for any data that is formatted. This includes basic string formats, file formats,
-and eventually programming languages
-
-fennec should be able to use Doxygen and LaTeX externally. Consider including binaries with releases.

-## Core (`core`)
-
-This will be the core of the engine.
-
- - Event System
-   - Most events will fire at the start of the next tick, especially those related to physics and input.
-   - Events for graphics or audio should propagate immediately.
-   - Events for stages should also propagate immediately, this is to support extensions and mods.
- - Core Engine Loop
-   - System Manager
-   - Ticks vs. Frames
-
-The following systems are not essential to the core engine, but are instead major systems that should be defined
-in their operation order:
-
-### Tick
- - **Update**
-   - Events
-   - Scripts
-   - AI
- - **Physics**
-   - Newtonian Commit
-     - Apply Forces (Updates Accelerations)
-     - Acceleration (Updates Velocities)
-     - Apply Velocities (Updates Position and Rotation)
-   - Constraint Resolution
-   - Collision Detection
-   - Collision Resolution
-   - Collision Response
-     - Calculate Forces & Velocities
-     - Queue events for next tick
-
-
-### Frame
- - **Physics**
-   - Physics Interpolation
- - **Graphics**
-   - [2D Graphics](#2d-graphics-gfx2d)
-   - Generate 3D Mask
-   - [3D Graphics](#3d-graphics-gfx3d)
- - **Audio**
-
-
-
-
-
-## Platform Support Layer (`platform`)
-
-This is the core part of platform support for fennec. All necessary drivers  
-and OS specific functionality will be wrapped up nicely into these interfaces.
-
-See implementation order [here](#platform--api-support)
-
-
-## Scene (`scene`)
-
-* In-Array Directed Tree
-  * Elegant method for providing `O(1)` insertions and `O(log(n))` deletions.
-* Bounding Volume Hierarchy
-    * Octree

-
-Object Structure. The mesh is implicit data.
-
-
-### Structures (`gfx2d`)
-
-For the 2d rendering framework, Materials need to be rendered independently because we have  
-no size constraints for images. This disallows us from using a meta-shader like in  
-the 3d rendering framework.
-
-```c++
-struct Object
-{
-    vec2 location, scale; // A matrix would be 36 bytes, this is instead 20 bytes
-    float rotation;
-}
-```
-
- - BVH
-   - Quadtree
-     - Leaf Size and Tree Depth should be calculated by the scene, constraints are as follows:
-       - Min Object Size
-       - Max Object Size
-       - Scene Center
-       - Scene Edge
-     - Insertions and Updates are done on the CPU
-     - Nodes
-       - Start Index 32-bits
-       - Object Count 32-bits
-     - Objects
-       - Buffer of Object IDs grouped by Octree Node
-   - Culling
-     - Starting at each Octree Leaf, traverse upwards.
-     - Insert Visible Leaf IDs
-       - Track using atomic buffer
-   - Generate the Command Buffer for Culled Meshes from the Visible Leaf Buffer
-     - Count Materials
-     - Count Meshes per Material
-   - Generate the Culled Object Buffer by copying objects from the Object Buffer
-     - Adjust Buffer Size using the counts
-     - Insert using another atomic buffer
-
- - Translucent objects will be sorted. We can cheat by using a z-index instead of a z-coordinate.  
-   This will allow us to sort objects as they are created. We can still bulk render each z-index,  
-   with meshes and objects being grouped by material.

-**DirectX will never have official support.**
-If you would like to make a fork, have at it, but know that I will hold a deep disdain for you.
-
-The graphics pipeline will have a buffer with a list of objects and their rendering data.  
-This will be referred to as the Object Buffer. There will be two, for both the Deferred and Forward Passes.
-
-The buffers will be optimized by scene prediction.  
-This involves tracking the meshes and textures directly and indirectly used by a scene.  
-A callback function in the graphics system for scene loading can do this.
-
-
-Materials and Lighting models will be run via a shader metaprogram to make the pipeline independent of this aspect. 
-This allows the GPU to draw every single deferred rendered mesh in a single draw call for each stage of the renderer.
-
-Specifications for debugging views via early breaks are included in the stages.
-
-There will be three profiles for OpenGL implementation:
- - modern
- - fallback
- - legacy
-
-All profiles will have the same feature set, however their implementations will differ.
-The modern context will use up-to-date features to get as much performance out of the pipeline as
-possible.
-
-
-
-### Structures (`gfx3d`)
-
-Object Structure. The mesh is implicit data.
-
-```c++
-struct Object
-{
-    vec3 location, scale; // A matrix would be 64 bytes, this is instead 28 bytes
-    quat rotation;
-    uint32 material, lighting;
-}
-```
-
-Textures for 3D rendering are stored in various buffers with sizes of powers of 2.
-Ratios of `1:1` and `2:1` are allowed. The `2:1` ratio is specifically for spherical and cylindrical projection.
-UVs may be transformed to use a `2:1` as if it were `1:2`.
-Cubemaps and 3D textures may only be `1:1`, I would be concerned if you are using any other ratio.
-
- - 8-Bit R    Texture `4096, 2048, 1024, 512` (8)
- - 8-Bit RG   Texture `4096, 2048, 1024, 512` (8)
- - 8-Bit RGB  Texture `4096, 2048, 1024, 512` (8)

- - 8-Bit RGB  Cubemap `1024, 512, 256, 128` (4)
-
- * 16-Bit HDR R    Texture `4096, 2048, 1024, 512` (8)

- - 16-Bit Shadow Cubemap `2048, 1024, 512, 256` (4)

- * 16-Bit 3D HDR RGB Texture `256, 128, 64, 32` (4)
-
-Documentation should provide guidelines on categories of Art Assets and the resolution of textures to use.
-
-Textures are identified by a 32-bit integer.
- - `8 bits`  &rarr; the texture buffer
- - `24 bits` &rarr; the layer in the buffer
-
-Artists should be informed on the texture structure of the engine and its limitations.
-However, these principles should be followed in other game engines as these are
-guided by what is most efficient for typical GPU hardware.
-
-
-Materials are, for the most part, user-defined. Documentation should make the user aware of this.
-Material buffers will be a sequence of the Material Struct instances.
-They will at the very least contain the id of their shader.
-
-Types of materials:
- - Surface (Vertex & Fragment)
-   - Opaque / Masked
-   - Translucent (Forward)
- - Volume (Path Traced Volumetrics / Forward)
- - Light (Lighting Model)
- - Post-Process 
-
-

-
-
-### Stages (`gfx3d`)
-
-This is the set of stages for the graphics pipeline that runs every frame:
-Unless otherwise specified, each stage will be run on the GPU.
-
- - BVH
-   - Octree `(8 Bpn, 64 bpn) [6-Layers ≈ 2.1MB]`
-     - Leaf Size and Tree Depth should be calculated by the scene, constraints are as follows:
-       - Min Object Size
-       - Max Object Size
-       - Scene Center
-       - Scene Edge
-     - Buffer has implicit locations due to the tree having 8 children.
-     - Insertions and Updates are done on the CPU
-     - Nodes
-       - Start Index `int32`
-       - Object Count `int32`
-     - Objects
-       - Buffer of Object IDs grouped by Octree Node
-   - Leaf Culling
-     - Starting at each Octree Leaf, traverse upwards.
-     - Insert Visible Leaf IDs
-       - Track using atomic buffer
-   - Generate the Command Buffer for Culled Mesh LODs from the Visible Leaf Buffer
-     - Track counts using atomic buffers
-     - To avoid double counting due to the construction of the Octree output, we have some options
-       - Ignore Leaf Instances based on occurrences of the mesh in the surrounding 8 Quadtree Leaves. This would require
-         a bias towards a specific corner of the filter.
-       - Perform a preprocessing step on the CPU to erase duplicate elements and fix the buffer continuity.
-       - Let the duplicates be rendered.
-     - Generate the Culled Object Buffer with the respective object IDs
-       - Adjust Buffer Size using the counts
-       - Insert by reusing the count buffer, clipped to only contain used meshes

-## Artificial Intelligence (`ai`)
-
-This artificial intelligence method only differs in static generation between 2D and 3D.
-The solvers are dimension independent since they work on a graph.
-
-The general process is; 
-
-Static:
- - generate a static navigation graph (sometimes called a NavMesh)
-
-Update:
- * resolve dynamic blockers
- * update paths using dijkstra's algorithm
- * apply rigid-body forces with constraints
-
-The update loop for artificial intelligence should only update every `n` ticks. Where `n <= k`, with `k` being the
-tick rate of the physics engine.

 ### Licensing
 
 The following content of this section is not legal advice, nor is it legally binding, and nor does it change the terms
 of the license. Please seek legal council if you have any concerns.
 
-&ensp; fennec is licensed under GPLv3. The primary reason for the choice of license is to dissuade corporations from modifying  
-fennec and using it in a commercial manner. This of course does not bar them from using fennec commercially, however

-fennec however you wish according to the terms of the license, which does not bar you from commercializing software  
-based on fennec. 
+TLDR; You may license your game under whichever license you please. Any C++ code that is by definition a derivative work
+must be licensed under GPLv3 and freely available, everything else; assets, scripts, design documents, etc. may be under
+the license of your choosing and remain proprietary.

 &ensp; If you wish to protect your game files, assets and generated content do not constitute a covered work and may be
 copyrighted under a non-compliant license. Think of it in terms of using Blender to create a mesh for a game, then
 licensing that mesh under another license.
 
-Any code that is linked against fennec or uses any part is by definition a covered work must be licensed under GPLv3.
-
 &ensp; Later down the line, I plan on implementing scripts in a manner that allows the script itself to remain proprietary.
 The scripts will likely be trans-compiled to another language before being compiled to binary, but this is only an 
 intermediate step and will be erased when no longer needed.

+/// Graphs contain vertices and edges. Graphs are either directed

+/// An undirected graph is connected if there is a path between every pair of vertices in the graph.

+/// A directed graph is weakly connected if replacing all of its directed edges with undirected edges would
+/// produce a connected graph. We will call this "disjointed"

+/// A directed graph is semi-connected if there is a directed path p for \f$u\f$ &rarr; \f$v\f$ *or* \f$v\f$ &rarr; \f$u\f$ for every

+// After rewriting the _fix_insert and _fix_erase functions the performance decreased significantly in the lower end
+// but now in the higher end it remains consistent. Something I was doing was disturbing both the rb-tree and bst tree
+// properties, now that is fixed. I'll see about optimizing more in the future.
+
+// I realized that the way bintree is setup makes some insert calls O(n + log n) = O(n), so I switched to a pointer based model.
+// This increased performance overall maintaining O(log n).
