Citro2D support for 2D applications?

[honkling]

Is support for Citro2D on the checklist? I would quite like to use Rust3DS for my homebrew applications, but it doesn't appear to support C2D unfortunately :/

there is a C3D/C2D bindings repo, but it's very much a wip, so the safe abstractions mostly aren't there, and those that exist aren't nearly as polished as the libctru ones.

I went ahead and transferred this issue, since C2D support would most likely be implemented here in citro3d-rs. Maybe we'd have a separate crate for citro2d and citro2d-sys but since a lot of the foundation is built off citro3d I think we'd probably need to flesh out the API of citro3d-rs a bit more before we can come up with something sensible.

In the meantime, if you want to use the existing devkitPro citro2d, you can probably use bindgen yourself in a similar manner to what we do for citro3d-sys: https://github.com/rust3ds/citro3d-rs/blob/main/citro3d-sys/build.rs . I imagine with some tweaking of the include headers you could generate appropriate citro2d bindings and use those, but it will of course require a lot of unsafe and might not interoperate too nicely with this library.

Still, I do think this is a useful goal for this library to have so let's keep this issue around to track it!
