- Add loading screen system with stb_image for JPEG loading
- Two loading screen images (orc and dwarf) randomly selected
- Display loading screen while terrain data loads
- Cache WMO inverse matrices to reduce per-frame computation

a9dd685398 Fix terrain collision by correcting spawn coordinates
- Spawn position changed to (-9080, -100, 100) which is on actual terrain
- The terrain mesh uses WoW coordinates from ADT files directly
- Camera/spawn position must use same coordinate system as terrain
- Cleaned up getHeightAt comments to clarify coordinate system
- Removed debug logging from WMO floor detection

a8cf17e7e5 Improve rendering distances, camera collision, and spawn point
- Increase WMO render distance from 1500 to 3000 units for better city loading
- Increase M2 render distance from 500 to 1000 units
- Increase terrain load radius from 4 to 6 tiles (~3200 units)
- Add raycast-based camera collision that zooms in when obstructed by walls/objects
- Move spawn point outside chapel to road near Stormwind gate
- Add ground height smoothing to prevent stumbling on uneven terrain

76a16a214e Improve movement, crouching, and add M2 animation
Movement:
- Fix speed controls: Shift=sprint (28), normal run (14), Ctrl=walk (5)
- Reduce character height for doorway clearance (eye height 1.2)
- Add working crouch (C or X key) with smooth transition (eye height 0.6)
- Jump to stand up from crouch

M2 Animation:
- Add animation time tracking per M2 instance
- Add procedural swaying animation in vertex shader
- Update animation each frame for vegetation movement

4287878a73 Performance optimizations and collision improvements
Performance:
- Remove expensive inverse() from all vertex shaders (terrain, WMO, M2, water, character)
- Add uniform location caching to avoid repeated glGetUniformLocation calls
- Add proper frustum culling for WMO groups using AABB intersection
- Add distance-based culling for WMO and M2 instances
- Add cleanup of unused M2/WMO models when tiles unload

Collision & Movement:
- Add M2 doodad collision detection (fences, boxes, etc.)
- Reduce character eye height (5.0 -> 1.8) and collision radius (2.5 -> 0.5)
- Enable WoW-style movement speed by default (14 units/sec run, 5 walk, 9 back)
- Fix emote grammar ("You waves." -> "You wave.")

Misc:
- Rename window title to "Wowee"
