Complete rewrite — the previous version extensively referenced OpenGL
(glClearColor, VAO/VBO/EBO, GLSL shaders) throughout all sections.
The project has used Vulkan exclusively for months.
Key changes:
- Replace all OpenGL references with Vulkan equivalents (VkContext,
VMA, descriptor sets, pipeline cache, SPIR-V shaders)
- Update system diagram to show actual sub-renderer hierarchy
(TerrainRenderer, WMORenderer, M2Renderer, CharacterRenderer, etc.)
- Document GameHandler SOLID decomposition (8 domain handlers +
EntityController + GameServices dependency injection)
- Add Warden 4-layer architecture section
- Add audio system section (miniaudio, 5 sound managers)
- Update opcode count from "100+" to 664+
- Update UI section: talent screen and settings are implemented (not TODO)
- Document threading model (async terrain, GPU upload queue, normal maps)
- Fix dependencies list (Vulkan SDK, VMA, vk-bootstrap, Unicorn, FFmpeg)
- Add container builds and CI platforms
- Remove stale "TODO" items for features that are complete
- Expand README.md with complete feature list (quests, vendors, combat, spells, inventory, etc.)
- Update Controls section with comprehensive keybindings organized by category
- Rewrite docs/quickstart.md from "TODO" state to reflect all working features
- Enhance docs/architecture.md with detailed system descriptions and current capabilities
- Add CHANGELOG.md documenting 50+ recent commits grouped by feature area
- Add FEATURES.md with 100+ documented features across 8 major categories
- Update technical details with architecture, networking, and asset loading info
