- implement graphics system
Basic idea: core client passes shared-memory segment name to app,
recommended size and frame rate.
App creates pixmap + dirty flag in shared mem,
renders to it, sets dirty flag.
Core client (or screensaver) maps shared mem.
When dirty, blit pixmap to screen
Basic idea: core client passes prefs to app,
recommended size and frame rate, etc.
- X11 version
It's not clear whether X11 allows you to draw into memory.
Does everything have to go through server?
- Win32-based version
- The API by which the app draws into shared-mem pixmap should
be platform-independent.
In the first pass we can use our own library based on Win32 primitives.
In principle we should be able to use any library
capable of offscreen drawing.
OpenGL version?
