2019-11-14README: add rtv module to listVito Caputo
2019-11-14rtv: implement "Rototiller TV" rendererVito Caputo
This is sort of a meta renderer, as it simply renders other modules in its prepare_frame() stage. They're still threaded as the newly public rototiller_module_render() utilizes the threading machinery, it just needs to be called from the serial phase @ prepare_frame(). I'm pretty sure this module will leak memory every time it changes modules, since the existing cleanup paths for the modules hasn't needed to be thorough in the least. So that's something to fix in a later commit, go through all the modules and make sure their destroy_context() entrypoints actually cleans everything up. See the source for some rtv-specific TODOs.
2019-11-14rototiller: add some public module interfacesVito Caputo
Adds: rototiller_lookup_module() rototiller_get_modules() rototiller_module_render() there should probably be more helpers for dealing with context create and destroy, but this is enough for some experimentation.
2019-11-13ray: add rudimentary gamma correctionVito Caputo
color banding has been quite visible, and somewhat expected with a direct conversion from the linear float color space to the 8-bit integral rgb color components. A simple lookup table is used here to non-linearly map the values, table generation is taken from Greg Ward's REAL PIXELS gem in Graphics Gems II.

2019-11-10roto: drop roto64, turning roto32 back into rotoVito Caputo
Initially I was going to make 32 vs. 64 be a setting, but decided now that SDL is supported it's fairly likely there will be odd fb dimensions (arbitrary window sizes). Since this never really brought anything of significant value, just drop the version that mostly just demonstrated how to pack multiple pixels into a single u64 write to the framebuffer more than anything else.
2019-11-10submit: replace submit-softly with bilerp settingVito Caputo
This removes the submit-softly module, instead using a runtime setting to toggle bilinear interpolation on the submit module.

2019-11-10flui2d: add some rudimentary settingsVito Caputo
Viscosity and diffusion are supported, it'd be neat to add a configurable size (the ROOT define) for the flow field in the future. I didn't go crazy here, it's just a list of orders of magnitude you choose from for each. It'd probably be more interesting to change this into a single knob with descriptive names like "smoke" "goop" "water" mapping to a LUT.
2019-11-10settings: add a SETTINGS_STR() helper macroVito Caputo
Just a convenience thing as settings are all string-centric and callers like modules will probably have stuff like literal numbers defined for defaults which need to be stringified for setting_desc_t.
2019-11-10rototiller: add rototiller_module_t.setup()Vito Caputo
Wire up support for module settings, yes it's that small a change. I've forward-declared the settings related types in rototiller.h, if a module wants to actually wire up the .setup() method they'll need to include settings.h.
2019-11-10settings: s/setting_desc_new/setting_desc_clone/Vito Caputo
Slight refactor to make call sites less annoying. Now takes a (setting_desc_t *) instead of the members as discrete parameters, and returns an errno on error so callers can simply propagate error codes out rather than having to get access to errno defines, check for NULL and return -ENOMEM etc. It also makes the call sites self documenting by employing designated initializers in compound literals for the supplied setting_desc_t. This is in prep for runtime-configurable module settings.
2019-11-10rototiller: setup_from_args() has defaults alreadyVito Caputo
I think passing this separately is vestigial from before there was an args struct encapsulating everything. In the future there might be some defaults discretion supported to say use defaults for module settings but not video, or vice versa. So get rid of this pointless parameter in prep for that, just use the args struct.
2019-10-30README: add flui2d to modules listVito Caputo
2019-10-16modules/flui2d: fix spelling of paper's authorVito Caputo
s/Joe/Jos/, I should wear my glasses more.
2019-10-14modules/flui2d: add 2D fluid dynamics simulationVito Caputo
This implements near verbatim the code found in the paper titled: Real-Time Fluid Dynamics for Games By Jos Stam It sometimes has the filename GDC03.PDF, or Stam_fluids_GDC03.pdf The density field is rendered using simple linear interpolation of the samples, in a grayscale palette. No gamma correction is being performed. There are three configurable defines of interest: VISCOSITY, DIFFUSION, and ROOT. This module is only threaded in the drawing stage, so basically the linear interpolation uses multiple cores. The simulation itself is not threaded, the implementation from the paper made no such considerations. It would be nice to reimplement this in a threaded fashion with a good generalized API, then move it into libs. Something where a unit square can be sampled for interpolated densities would be nice. Then extend it into 3 dimensions for volumetric effects...

Remove the silly kludge avoiding peripheral cells
2018-12-31modules/submit-softly: shorten descriptionVito Caputo
2018-12-31README: add mention of submit-softlyVito Caputo
2018-12-31modules/submit: add bilinearly-interpolated variantVito Caputo
This substantially reworks the cell sampling in submit. As a result, it's now threaded in the rendering phase which now resembles a texture mapper sans transformations. This produces a full-screen rendering rather than a potentially smaller one when the resolution wasn't cleanly divisable by the grid size. A new module, named submit-softly has also been added to expose the bilinearly interpolated variant. The transition between cells is also employing a smoothstep so it's not actually linear. The original non-interpolated version is retained as well, at the same submit module name. Some minor cleanups happened as well, nothing worth mentioning, except perhaps that the cells are now a uint8_t which is fine unless someone tries to redefine NUM_PLAYERS > 255.
2018-12-31libs/grid: fix grid_ops_t.taken player typeVito Caputo
Just making things consistent, also dropping unnecessary player assert from submit module. Future libs/grid may explore using the "unassigned" zero player in taken calls for unassigning cells like in simultaneously taken collision scenarios.
2018-12-30modules/stars: capitalize descriptionVito Caputo
2018-12-30modules/submit: add cellular automata game moduleVito Caputo
This module displays realtime battle for domination simulated as 2D cellular automata. This is just a test of the backend piece for a work-in-progress multiplayer game idea. The visuals were kind of interesting to watch so I figured may as well merge it as a module to share. Enjoy! PS: the results can vary a lot by tweaking the defines in submit.c
2018-12-30libs/grid: add grid cellular automata componentVito Caputo
Prep for adding a new module displaying a cellular automata based on the grid component from a multiplayer game I'm working on.

2018-04-03libs: commit missing Makefile.am filesVito Caputo
Oops! This should have made it into b5bc96, been sitting in my tree.
2018-03-19modules/ray: #include libray headers w/subdirsVito Caputo
Rather than require adding -Isrc/libs/$lib to every Makefile.am for every lib used, just add -Ilibs to those makefiles and prefix the lib dir in the #include <> header paths. Later I'll probably just move the -Isrc/libs someplace common so the per-module Makefile.am doesn't need to bother with this stuff.
2018-03-19ray: libize raytracer core, introduces src/libsVito Caputo
This is the first step of breaking out all the core rendering stuffs into reusable libraries and making modules purely compositional, consumers of various included rendering/effects libraries. Expect multiple modules leveraging libray for a variety of scenes and such. Also expect compositions mixing the various libraries for more interesting visuals.

2018-02-26sdl_fb: add fullscreen= and size= settingsVito Caputo
fullscreen takes either "on" or "off" size expects WxH arguments, defaults still to 640x480 size is optional when fullscreen=on. Through the setup machinery, when fullscreen has been selected it will not ask for a size - a "fullscreen desktop" mode is presumed. However, thorugh the explicit commandline flags, a mixed mode can be achieved by specifying both "fullscreen=on,size=WxH". This instructs SDL to attempt a video mode switch to the specified size if needed. I've found it to be pretty unreliable on my Xorg/linux system, unless I choose the same video mode as my desktop is already in. Then I get what looks like rendering into the root window or something, it's weird. Hence there's no effort made to expose that in the interactive setup, but it's technically possible and some effort was made to wire it up.
2018-02-26sdl_fb: jump through SDL_Main() hoopsVito Caputo
Since I don't use the SDL event loop, this needs to be done to keep things happy apparently.
2018-02-26sdl_fb: drain event queue on page flipVito Caputo
2018-02-26threads: fix cancellation on destroyVito Caputo
Depending on where cancellation was happening, locks were potentially left held which could result in the next thread being cancelled deadlocking. In deferred cancellation, only cancellation points realize the cancellation. So one worker thread could realize the cancellation entering say, pthread_cond_wait, and exit with the associated mutex still held. The other thread could be in the process of returning from pthread_cond_wait - past the cancellation point already, and get stuck in trying to acquire the mutex as pthread_cond_wait does before returning, because the lock was left held by the other thread. Instead, use the cleanup handlers to unlock the mutexes, and enable asynchronous cancellation. This seems to eliminate the observed occasional deadlocks on destroy.
2018-02-26rototiller,fb: swap dispatch with page flippingVito Caputo
For the sake of sdl_fb, move page flipping into the main thread and run module render dispatch from another thread instead. This eliminates the fb flipper thread, moving its functionality into fb_flip() which synchronously consumes and performs a single flip from the same queue as before - the function is verbatim the loop body of the flipper thread. Now main() calls fb_flip() in a loop where it previously dispatched pages for rendering. Rendering dispatch is now performed in a created thread. See the comment in fb.c for more explanation of this shuffle.
2018-02-23drm_fb,sdl_fb: drop vestigial headersVito Caputo
With fb backends entirely abstracted behind fb_ops_t, this is no longer necessary.
2018-02-23rototiller: drop vestigial drm includesVito Caputo
2018-02-23util: drop stdio ask_$type() helpersVito Caputo
With drmsetup.c gone these are no longer used and I don't see their use returning. Get rid of them.
2018-02-22fb,settings,drm_fb,sd_fb: const settings_t readersVito Caputo
The fb_ops entrypoints and their descendants are purely readers of the settings, so constify their settings_t instances and the operative functions which only read settings.
2018-02-22rototiller: make the sdl video backend the defaultVito Caputo
Since people are more likely to first run this from a GUI environment, default to SDL which should work in most situations. Then if they want they can switch to a linux console and explicitly use the drm video backend.
2018-02-22rototiller: wire up sdl video backendVito Caputo
2018-02-22sdl_fb: implement rudimentary sdl fb backendVito Caputo
This uses a simple fixed 640x480 windowed mode (for now). The SDL2 Renderer & Texture API is used for vsync-synchronized presents. There's probably excessive copying going on because the rototiller fb code manages pages and flips but SDL2 doesn't really expose low-level control of such things. This backend is quite useful for development purposes, allowing quick iteration in a windowed environment. Note this is just the backend implementation, it's dormant code but trivially activated.
2018-02-22*: embrace new generic settings paradigmVito Caputo
This should probably be split into multiple commits, but for simplicity sake it's all cut over at once. drm_fb.c sees major changes, migrating the remaining drm-specific bits from drmsetup into it, behind the settings API. rototiller.c sees a bunch of scaffolding surrounding the settings API and wiring it up into the commandline handling and renderers and video backends. fb.[ch] see minor changes as settings get plumbed to the backend drmsetup.[ch] goes bye bye
