2022-08-07til: til_fb_fragment_t **fragment_ptr all the thingsVito Caputo
Preparatory commit for enabling cloneable/swappable fragments There's an outstanding issue with the til_fb_page_t submission, see comments. Doesn't matter for now since cloning doesn't happen yet, but will need to be addressed before they do.
2022-07-24modules/shapes: fix up clipped fragment/frameVito Caputo
This is a first approximation of correct handling of arbitrarily clipped frames described by the incoming fragment. It's still relying on the _checked() put_pixel variants for clipping. That should probably be improved by constraining the loops to the clipped fragment edges.
2022-06-10til: add ticks to til_module_context_tVito Caputo
Also wire this up to the til_module_context_new() helper and all its callers. This is in preparation for modules doing more correct delta-T derived animation.
2022-05-29*: pivot to til_module_context_tVito Caputo
- modules now allocate their contexts using til_module_context_new() instead of [cm]alloc(). - modules simply embed til_module_context_t at the start of their respective private context structs, if they do anything with contexts - modules that do nothing with contexts (lack a create_context() method), will now *always* get a til_module_context_t supplied to their other methods regardless of their create_context() presence. So even if you don't have a create_context(), your prepare_frame() and/or render_fragment() methods can still access seed and n_cpus from within the til_module_context_t passed in as context, *always*. - modules that *do* have a create_context() method, implying they have their own private context type, will have to cast the til_module_context_t supplied to the other methods to their private context type. By embedding the til_module_context_t at the *start* of their private context struct, a simple cast is all that's needed. If it's placed somewhere else, more annoying container_of() style macros are needed - this is strongly discouraged, just put it at the start of struct. - til_module_create_context() now takes n_cpus, which may be set to 0 for automatically assigning the number of threads in its place. Any non-zero value is treated as an explicit n_cpus, primarily intended for setting it to 1 for single-threaded contexts necessary when embedded within an already-threaded composite module. - modules like montage which open-coded a single-threaded render are now using the same til_module_render_fragment() as everything else, since til_module_create_context() is accepting n_cpus. - til_module_create_context() now produces a real type, not void *, that is til_module_context_t *. All the other module context functions now operate on this type, and since til_module_context_t.module tracks the module this context relates to, those functions no longer require both the module and context be passed in. This is especially helpful for compositing modules which do a lot of module context creation and destruction; the module handle is now only needed to create the contexts. Everything else operating on that context only needs the single context pointer, not module+context pairs, which was unnecessarily annoying. - if your module's context can be destroyed with a simple free(), without any deeper knowledge or freeing of nested pointers, you can now simply omit destroy_context() altogether. When destroy_context() is missing, til_module_context_free() will automatically use libc's free() on the pointer returned from your create_context() (or on the pointer that was automatically created if you omitted create_context() too, for the bare til_module_context_t that got created on your behalf anyways). For the most part, these changes don't affect module creation. In some ways this eases module creation by making it more convenient access seed and n_cpus if you had no further requirement for a context struct. In other ways it's slightly annoying to have to do type-casts when you're working with your own context type, since before it was all void* and didn't require casts when assigning to your typed context variables. The elimination for requiring a destroy_context() method in simple free() of private context scenarios removes some boilerplate in simple cases. I think it's a wash for module writers, or maybe a slight win for the simple cases.
2022-05-25*: normalize on all case-insensitive comparisonsVito Caputo
I don't think rototiller is an appropriate place for being so uncooperative, if someone gets the case wrong anywhere just make it work. We should avoid making different things so subtly different that case alone is the distinction anyways, so I don't see this creating any future namespace collision problems.
2022-05-25modules/shapes: update TODO commentVito Caputo
A bunch of these have just been done
2022-05-25modules/shapes: slow spins down a bitVito Caputo
I didn't like the too fast spins where you can't even really get a read on what's going on in the shape. Suspect this will get tweaked more in the future...
2022-05-25modules/shapes: introduce pinch settingVito Caputo
This is kind of experimental, not sure how I feel about it. pinch=0..1 with a bunch of fractions, 0 disables it. pinch_spin=-1..1 same as spin= pinches=1..10 number of pinches, which come in pairs This applies to all the current shapes, for a tour: --module=rtv,channels=shapes,duration=2,context_duration=2,snow_module=none --defaults I think the speeds might go to high atm, I kind of liked the slower spins before all this more.
2022-05-24modules/shapes: fixup indentation of star+pinwheelVito Caputo
woops
2022-05-24modules/shapes: add scale settingVito Caputo
scale=1-.5 with a few other fractions in between Mostly added for the sake of rtv/compose where modules currently always go full-frame, which can be really annoying sometimes for shapes without any variety in the scale. When checkers starts filling cells using modules like shapes, it'll be interesting to see how this fares there since it'll probably be randomizing the settings too. At least floored at 50% should still produce something legible in /most/ of the checkers cell sizes. Definitely won't look like anything in the smaller end of the checkers sizes though... hrm.
2022-05-24modules/shapes: add spin setting for star+pinwheelVito Caputo
Introduces spin={-1,0,1} with a few intermediate fractions on both sides of 0. Controls rate and direction. As-is these multiple choice style options don't let you explicitly set a value in rototiller on the commandline that isn't in the set. There should probably be a flag in the desc we can set when bypassing the available options is tolerable, probably when regex's start getting enforced. That way rototiller's commandline setting parsing can just lean on the regex, and if the desc says anything can come in that passes the regex even if it's not in the values set, this can all still work and have something resembling input validation. At the end of the day, the multiple choice value sets are supposed to be a convenience/guide to a sane variety of values and of particular utility to randomizers like used by rtv/montage/compose, but also GUI setting selectors like in glimmer. They're not intended to get in the way preventing development from accessing explicit values of arbitrary precision which can be really necessary especially when trying to determine what's best for going in the values set.
2022-05-24modules/shapes: add points setting for star+pinwheelVito Caputo
Replace the hard-coded 5 points with a points=3-20 setting Nothing fancy going on here
2022-05-23modules/shapes: various small fixupsVito Caputo
- clear padding when {letter,pillar}boxed - limit costly rendering to shape size area when boxed - fix <= inclusion tests in circle and rhombus: s/<=/</
2022-05-21til: supply a seed to til_module_t.create_context()Vito Caputo
In the recent surge of ADD-style rtv+compose focused development, a bunch of modules were changed to randomize initial states at context_create() so they wouldn't be so repetitive. But the way this was done in a way that made it impossible to suppress the randomized initial state, which sometimes may be desirable in compositions. Imagine for instance something like the checkers module, rendering one module in the odd cells, and another module into the even cells. Imagine if these modules are actually the same, but if checkers used one seed for all the odd cells and another seed for all the even cells. If the modules used actually utilized the seed provided, checkers would be able to differentiate the odd from even by seeding them differently even when the modules are the same. This commit is a step in that direction, but rototiller and all the composite modules (rtv,compose,montage) are simply passing rand() as the seeds. Also none of the modules have yet been modified to actually make use of these seeds. Subsequent commits will update modules to seed their pseudo-randomized initial state from the seed value rather than always calling things like rand() themselves.
2022-05-21modules/shapes: add procedural 2D shapes moduleVito Caputo
Mostly for compositing purposes, here will be a corpus of 2D shapes, parameterized/procedurally generated and able to rotate and perhaps have other dynamics added. What shapes are there presently I had started implementing in checkers as "styles", before realizing they really should just be a separate module checkers can call into. Not terribly interesting by itself, but as blinds and checkers demonstrated, these things deliver a lot of value in compositional situations. They're creating the palette to draw from.
