+- **love.graphics** - still need to do tests for the main drawing methods
 - **love.image** - ideally isCompressed should have an example of all compressed files love can take
 - **love.math** - linearToGamma + gammaToLinear using direct formulas don't get same value back
 - **love.objects** - not started properly yet
-
----
-
-## Failures
-- **love.window.isMaximized()** - returns false after calling love.window.maximize?
-- **love.window.maximize()** - same as above
+- **love.graphics.setStencilTest** - deprecated, replaced by setStencilMode()
 
 ---
 
 ## Stretch Goals
 - [ ] Tests can compare visual results to a reference image
 - [ ] Ability to see all visual results at a glance
-- [ ] Automatic testing that happens after every commit
 - [ ] Ability to test loading different combinations of modules
 - [ ] Performance tests

-## CI
-- [ ] ignore test suite for windows AMD
-- [ ] add test run to linux (opengl+vulkan) + ios builds (opengl+metal)
-
 ## TESTSUITE
-- [ ] finish graphics state methods
+- [ ] setStencilMode to replace setStencilTest
 - [ ] start graphics drawing methods
 - [ ] start object methods
 
+## GRAPHICS
+Methods that need a better actual graphics check if possible:
+- [ ] setDepthMode
+- [ ] setFrontFaceWinding
+- [ ] setMeshCullMode
+
 ## FUTURE
-- [ ] pass in err string returns to the test output
-  maybe even assertNotNil could use the second value automatically
-  test:assertNotNil(love.filesystem.openFile('file2', 'r')) wouldn't have to change
-- [ ] some joystick/input stuff could be at least nil checked maybe?
 - [ ] need a platform: format table somewhere for compressed formats (i.e. DXT not supported)
-  could add platform as global to command and then use in tests?
\ No newline at end of file
+      could add platform as global to command and then use in tests?
+- [ ] use coroutines for the delay action? i.e. wrap each test call in coroutine 
+      and then every test can use coroutine.yield() if needed
+- [ ] could nil check some joystick and keyboard methods?
+
+## GITHUB ACTION CI
+- [ ] linux needs to run xvfb-run with the appimage
+- [ ] windows can try installing mesa for opengl replacement
+- [ ] ios test run?
