This month i've remade the architechture to have an ECS !
it's now possible to add, remove and modify components at runtime adding flexibility for the editor.
Also objects are now dynamic, we can create and delete them during runtime.
now using rapdjson, we can save and load the map directly at runtime !
Finally we have spotlights

So much was done this month, a lot of bug fixing and optomization for several models loading
I've added PBR, PointLights, i've also started the editor part with ImGui !
Some Debug tools such as the wireframe or texture visualization
I've also tried JoltPhysics a little and some toon shading as you can see :

I'm writing this few month afterward so i don't really remember all, we are at the projects early stages,
I've set a basic 3D Camera, and the core / scene system,
For Sure i've added Obj and Fbx loading with Assimp...
