Just a word of warning, the Tetris Company is pretty aggressive about protecting their trademarks. I'd at least pick a different name, but sometimes they even go after Tetris clones which don't use the name (e.g. Apotris). http

Yeah, GLs global state is awful. The least-bad way to deal with it is to build your own pipeline abstraction on top, similar to the native pipeline constructs of newer APIs like WebGPU, so most of the messy global state manipulation is cent
