- Began new overarching window interface - Began outlining renderer interfaces - Began a binary tree implementation in bintree.h, this will act as a generalized binary tree, then red-black tree will be implemented on top of it for sequences (ordered sets)

Introduction
This system will handle newtonian physics for 3D rigid and soft-bodies. This should include articulated skeletal systems, particle physics, and soft-body physics. The following soft-body systems will be supported with the associated implementation; elastics with finite element simulation, cloth physics with position-based dynamics, oceans with iWave, 3D fluid dynamics with smoothed-particle hydrodynamics, 2D surface fluid dynamics with force-based dynamics.

Oceans → iWave
- Reasoning: iWave provides interactive lightweight fluid dynamics suitable for flat planes of water.

3D Fluid Dynamics → Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics
- Reasoning: This is the simplest method for simulating 3D bodies of water. This should exclusively be
used for small scale simulations where self-interactive fluids are necessary. I.E. pouring water into
a glass.

2D Surface Fluid Dynamics → Force-Based Dynamics
- Reasoning: This model, like iWave, provides lightweight interactive fluid dynamics, but is more easily adapted to flowing surfaces such as streams and rivers.
