File System Overhaul

Release 0.5.0

This release aims to replace VS 2019 build system with CMAKE 3 due to some unforeseen bugs related to Visual Studio, and improve cross-platform compatibility. Also remap the current file hierarchy to separate the actual engine with the demo program.

Before building system with CMake, unzip STPExtras.zip in the root project directory.

Overhaul to build system

• Deprecate VS 2019 build system, instead SuperTerrain+ will use CMake 3.18. VS 2019 solution can however be generated.
• Separate source code and header.
• Split STPDeviceErrorHandler into a separate shared library target SuperError+.
• Split STPSimplexNoise and STPPermutationsGenerator into a separate static library target SuperAlgorithm+ to allow the newly introduced runtime compiled heightmap generator script to load noise library directly during runtime.
• Completely split SuperTerrain+ main engine from the demo program SuperDemo+.
• Add header files to build dependencies so IDE like Visual Studio can see it.
• Add a template file STPCoreDefine for easier runtime filename referencing.

Rename

• Change Helpers directory in SuperTerrain+ to Utility.
• Change Settings directory in SuperTerrain+ to Environment.
• Change Biome directory in SuperTerrain+ to Diversity.
• Change namespace STPSettings to STPEnvironment to avoid name conflict .
• Change STPPermutationsGenerator to STPPermutationGenerator.
