todo

• figure out why mac isn't building
• figure out a plan for SDL_net (it looks like the latest code on the main branch https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_net supports SDL3 but the release version is from 2022)
• clean up naming with GameController -> Gamepad (got the big ones with bulk find/replace, but combing through to make sure names aren't confusing will be good)
• TEST
• remove all the inline comments linking to the SDL migration docs, decide if we want to keep them anywhere and if we do find a place for them to live
• LAND IT

once that's done we can start playing with new SDL3 stuff!

Build Artifacts

• soh-linux.zip
• soh-windows.zip

As far as SDL_net is concerned, I guess we need to do a submodule of the repo instead of relying on package managers? I'd guess there isn't a version on package managers for it like there is for the SDL3 pre-releases.

the issue isn't the lack of a package in package managers. we wouldn't need to submodule. we could use FetchContent like we do for ImGui (https://github.com/Kenix3/libultraship/blob/31df12cdb7b877f4f0790dcc216a2c9d3823d58b/cmake/dependencies/common.cmake#L16-L22), but with ImGui we at least are pulling a known released version by tag. until a version that supports SDL3 is tagged (https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_net/tags) we'd need to pull based on some random commit sha (which really doesn't seem like a good call for network stuff).

As long as it works, I think it would be worth it to get the rest of SDL3 in, but that's just my opinion. There's just too much good with it.

i don't know if it actually works or not, i haven't tried it, and it seems like a lot has changed

We're not currently planning an SDL3 port of SDL_net, although Maelstrom still uses it, so that may change. :)

from: libsdl-org/SDL_net#79

This is a complete redesign and rewrite of SDL_net for a 3.0 release. It has different goals and functionality than SDL2_net, of which I have retained no pieces.
