TODO

MASSIVE TODO

• ECS re-write [almost complete]

• Redo the coordinate system, should be similar to pymunk, normal cartesian. Renderer will just convert the normal coordinates to the pygame-screen coordinates

• Abolishing display/window surfaces in RendererProperties [being worked on for ecs]

• Update Renderable to hold a method for rendering complex objects (sprite stacking)

• Camera

• Renderer [the base part is complete]
