## Etymology

* Rasterizer -> Raster & izer -> Raster & Iver
* Iver is my name, which sounds similar to izer

## Roadmap

### By End of December, 2025

    - using custom image parser, PitMap
    - objects can have at least 1 texture
    - no animated textures yet
    - only BMP files
    - no bumpmap, normalmap, distortionmap, et cetera

 - [x] Animated textures support **`finished on November 29th, 2025`**
    - similar to Minecraft's where a texture repeats itself inside itself and you just offset the y coord based off the frame
