| TEXEL64 - a 3D fantasy console to help with prototyping, testing, figuring out typical | |
| usage patterns for effective CPU/GPU use in a small, restricted setting; Inspired by PICO-8 | |
| CPU Memory | |
| ========== | |
| System ROM (256K? 1M? 4M?!) | |
| System RAM (same size + extra?) | |
| Program RAM (size unknown, VM runtime) | |
| GPU Memory (uses actual GPU through OpenGL) | |
| ========== | |
| Main framebuffer is 256x128 R16UI @ 60Hz (32,768 colors) = 64K | |
| Buffer RAM (unstructured; used for vertices, indices, uniforms, pixel transfer) = 2M | |
| also exposed as 128K addressable RGBA32UI buffer texture | |
| Texture RAM (structured; used for textures and rendertargets) = 2M | |
| 2x Z-Buffer 256x128 D24S8 (uint32) = 256K | |
| 2x HDR 256x128 RGBA16 (4*uint16) = 512K | |
| 2x G-Buffer 256x128 RGBA32UI (4*uint32) = 1M (equal to 32x R8 or 8x RGBA8 or 4x RGBA16) | |
| 8x Atlas 128x128 R8UI (uint8) = 128K (equal to 256x128 R4UI) | |
| 2x Palette/LUT 256x128 RGB5A1 (uint16) = 128K | |
| Audio | |
| ===== | |
| digital wavetable FM synth | |
| Editor | |
| ====== | |
| separate editors for: | |
| * code (graphical Scheme) | |
| * 16 color palettes | |
| * sprite/texture atlas | |
| * mesh / uv map | |
| * sound patterns (recursive) | |
| Language | |
| ======== | |
| A statically typed, compact variant of Scheme. |
