2022-05-01til_fb: add draw flags for controlling texturabilityVito Caputo
Just adds TIL_FB_DRAW_FLAG_TEXTURABLE so callers can granularly inhibit texturing if desired.
2022-05-01modules/*: make use of generic fragmentersVito Caputo
Just one case, modules/submit, was using 32x32 tiles and is now using 64x64. I don't expect it to make any difference. While here I fixed up the num_cpus/n_cpus naming inconsistencies, normalizing on n_cpus.
2022-05-01til: wire n_cpus up to the fragmenter functionVito Caputo
Fragmenting is often dimensioned according to the number of cpus, and by not supplying this to the fragmenter it was made rather common for module contexts to plumb this themselves - in some cases incorporating a context type/create/destroy rigamarole for the n_cpus circuit alone. So just plumb it in libtil, and the prepare_frame functions can choose to ignore it if they have something more desirable onhand. Future commits will remove a bunch of n_cpus from module contexts in favor of this.
2022-04-24*: s/void */til_setup_t */Vito Caputo
This brings something resembling an actual type to the private objects returrned in *res_setup. Internally libtil/rototiller wants this to be a til_setup_t, and it's up to the private users of what's returned in *res_setup to embed this appropriately and either use container_of() or casting when simply embedded at the start to go between til_setup_t and their private containing struct. Everywhere *res_setup was previously allocated using calloc() is now using til_setup_new() with a free_func, which til_setup_new() will initialize appropriately. There's still some remaining work to do with the supplied free_func in some modules, where free() isn't quite appropriate. Setup freeing isn't actually being performed yet, but this sets the foundation for that to happen in a subsequent commit that cleans up the setup leaks. Many modules use a static default setup for when no setup has been provided. In those cases, the free_func would be NULL, which til_setup_new() refuses to do. When setup freeing actually starts happening, it'll simply skip freeing when til_setup_t.free_func is NULL.
2022-04-14modules/*: remove srand() initializationsVito Caputo
Just rely on til_init()'s srand() ensuring things are fresh.
2022-03-30*: wire up context-specific setup instancesVito Caputo
This is a preparatory commit for cleaning up the existing sloppy global-ish application of settings during the iterative _setup() call sequences. Due to how this has evolved from a very rudimentary thing enjoying many assumptions about there ever only being a single module instance being configured by the settings, there's a lot of weirdness and inconsistency surrounding module setup WRT changes being applied instantaneously to /all/ existing and future context's renderings of a given module vs. requiring a new context be created to realize changes. This commit doesn't actually change any of that, but puts the plumbing in place for the setup methods to allocate and initialize a private struct encapsulating the parsed and validated setup once the settings are complete. This opaque setup pointer will then be provided to the associated create_context() method as the setup pointer. Then the created context can configure itself using the provided setup when non-NULL, or simply use defaults when NULL. A future commit will update the setup methods to allocate and populate their respective setup structs, adding the structs as needed, as well as updating their create_context() methods to utilize those setups. One consequence of these changes when fully realized will be that every setting change will require a new context be created from the changed settings for the change to be realized. For settings appropriately manipulated at runtime the concept of knobs was introduced but never finished. That will have to be finished in the future to enable more immediate/interactive changing of settings-like values appropriate for interactive manipulation
2022-03-19*: drop til_module_t.licenseVito Caputo
Originally the thinking was that rototiller modules would become dlopen()ed shared objects, and that it would make sense to let them be licensed differently. At this time only some modules I have written were gplv3, Phil's modules are all gplv2, and I'm not inclined to pivot towards a dlopen model. So this commit drops the license field from til_module_t, relicenses my v3 code to v2, and adds a gplv2 LICENSE file to the source root dir. As of now rototiller+libtil and all its modules are simply gplv2, and anything linking in libtil must use a gplv2 compatible license - the expectation is that you just use gplv2.
2021-10-01*: librototiller->libtilVito Caputo
Largely mechanical rename of librototiller -> libtil, but introducing a til_ prefix to all librototiller (now libtil) functions and types where a rototiller prefix was absent. This is just a step towards a more libized librototiller, and til is just a nicer to type/read prefix than rototiller_.
2020-01-25rototiller: introduce ticks and wire up to modulesVito Caputo
Most modules find themselves wanting some kind of "t" value increasing with time or frames rendered. It's common for them to create and maintain this variable locally, incrementing it with every frame rendered. It may be interesting to introduce a global notion of ticks since rototiller started, and have all modules derive their "t" value from this instead of having their own private versions of it. In future modules and general innovations it seems likely that playing with time, like jumping it forwards and backwards to achieve some visual effects, will be desirable. This isn't applicable to all modules, but for many their entire visible state is derived from their "t" value, making them entirely reversible. This commit doesn't change any modules functionally, it only adds the plumbing to pull a ticks value down to the modules from the core. A ticks offset has also been introduced in preparation for supporting dynamic shifting of the ticks value, though no API is added for doing so yet. It also seems likely an API will be needed for disabling the time-based ticks advancement, with functions for explicitly setting its value. If modules are created for incorporating external sequencers and music coordination, they will almost certainly need to manage the ticks value explicitly. When a sequencer jumps forwards/backwards in the creative process, the module glue responsible will need to keep ticks synchronized with the sequencer/editor tool. Before any of this can happen, we need ticks as a first-class core thing shared by all modules. Future commits will have to modify existing modules to use the ticks appropriately, replacing their bespoke variants.
