Refactor the texture API to include more modern texture compression formats. Write a more flexible, GLES 3 GLSL compatible shader language. Write a more efficient Mesh format, which allows faster loading/saving. Why don't you use a backend library such as BGFX and forget about writing for different OpenGL versions?

A shader is a script where you write code that determines how the colors will be rendered based on various scenarios like lighting and material configuration. Again we have the properties which is a texture and a color declared on lines 4 and 5. What Is a Shader? Then we give it a type – Color.
