[Feature Request] Massively overhaul Drawable classes #10
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As part of the massive performance, feature, and structural overhaul needed to propel FastJ into 2.0, we need an incredibly strong and flexible foundation. As such, this issue is opened to describe the many things needed in order to consider the engine ready for a more useful UI system, among other things.
What should the solution be like?
This is the list of features currently expected as a bare minimum in order to proceed:
General Model Loading
- Overhaul psdf contents
- Add support for gradients
- Add Drawable support for textures #110
- Add outline/stroke support
- Add Drawable support for curves #109
- Support read/write with the
svgformat - Support read/write with the
objformat
Text2D
- Improve Text2D with vector graphics/attribute modifiers
- Support to read/write Text2D to tsdf/svg
Polygon2D
- Improve Polygon2D with more paint options/outline options
- Add extra options for working with complex curves (beziers)
- Add option to create Polygon2D from Path2D instance
Drawable
- Add child/parent system
- Store Scene reference in each Drawable
- Abstract transform implementations -- see [Feature Request] Separate transform logic from GameObject classes #12
If you have any suggestions for other features, please leave a comment down below explaining. Progress of this will be tracked in the drawable branch.

Perhaps a function or class to set a certain pixel on screen (hopefully will be more performant than drawing a 1x1 rect).
Ability to draw arcs (psdf support and Polygon2D support).
Also is it feasible to add a Polygon2D constructor that takes a Path2D?

I can't currently guarantee that this will be very performant, unfortunately, but I think it would be worth a shot.
This is included (but not specified -- my bad!) with the improvements all around for the Polygon2D class and model loading.
Totally! I personally might end up making it a static method that reads like so:
Polygon2D polygon = Polygon2D.fromPath(path2d);Hopefully that ends up working out for you.

@nt314p Finally got around to doing this one. Still on the fence about working with arcs, points, and lines, but we've got one completely added (see #205)! Hope this helps 👍🏾
