v3.x.x

[sasha240100]

Great to announce that start of v3.x.x development!

Short FAQ:

• When? Probably till the end of this (2018) year
• Who? @sasha240100 @hirako2000 and everyone who wants to join (you can ask in this issue comments & propose your changes)
• What it will be? Yep, the most interesting question, I'll write down below.

Proposed features

• New Three.js version in the core of the library + Support for further version updates
• Components automation. Three.js always adds new types of geometries, lights, meshes and so on and currently we handle them manually. We would probably write a code that will parse three.js geometries/lights/etc and make components from them.
• Better WHS.Loop I really like that we split requestAnimationFrame into loops, but I think we can do that an even better way [API is currently under discussion].
• New (simplified) Module lifecycle. Same. Modules is a strong part of whs framework, but their complexity is whs weakness, and we'll try to make them more human-readable and better-piped way.
• Support for new Three.js features.
  • THREE.WebGL2Renderer support
  • (soon...)
• Better documentation. (more details soon...)

Feel free to add your suggestions to the future release in this issue comments

Of course, I'd like to help out! My workload will decrease in school from January until May, so I have time to contribute towards the development/expansion of base features. Should I continue developing my Networking Module? Are we going to throw that one out during 3.x.x?

I love that we're getting active in this again. This library has much more potential than the number of people that (properly) utilize it in the actual world...

Here's to high hopes! 😄

Very excited, I am looking forward to its release~！

I think it is possible to add a more convenient loop/tick management module so that the loop/tick can be handed over to other libraries, such as an animation engine such as GSAP or other

I’ll start at 19 Jan
