Finally, combined the texture mapping, the lighting and the colour interpolation.
I feel like this is a good proof-of-concept to stop and start reading the specs more seriously, as well as investigating what other people have done in this space, so I can learn from them.
This is also a good time to start adding tests and documentation, testing on real hardware and cleaning up the code.
I'm here for the long run :)
Resurrecting some old code

Da morbico pensar que el tema ventanas (simplificando mucho) lo lleve #OpenGL (Mutter) y el contenido de las ventanas lo lleva #Vulkan (GTK). Suena raro, pero funciona, claro.
Hay cierta obsesión por sustituir OpenGL por Vulkan siempre. Pero, en el caso de Mutter, no parece muy necesario. Bueno, quizás sí para dispositivos móviles por una supuesta ganancia en rendimiento. Lo que equivale a menos consumo de batería, ¿no?
Aunque bueno... existe OpenGL ES. Vaya follón, je je.
