2017-09-14*: use fragment generatorVito Caputo
Rather than laying out all fragments in a frame up-front in ray_module_t.prepare_frame(), return a fragment generator (rototiller_fragmenter_t) which produces the numbered fragment as needed. This removes complexity from the serially-executed prepare_frame() and allows the individual fragments to be computed in parallel by the different threads. It also eliminates the need for a fragments array in the rototiller_frame_t, indeed rototiller_frame_t is eliminated altogether.
2017-04-27*: remove vestigial module/${module}/${module}.hVito Caputo
Prior to rototiller_module_t these headers were included and the module-specific render functions called directly. That's no longer the case, these files are irrelevant today.
2017-04-27sparkler: enable rudimentary threaded renderingVito Caputo
This moves most of the particle system maintenance into the serially executed sparkler_prepare_frame(), divides the frame into ncpus fragments, and leaves the draw to occur concurrently. The drawing must still currently process all particles and simply skips drawing those falling outside the fragment. Moving more of the computation out of prepare_frame() and into render_fragment() is left for future improvements, as it's a bit complex to do gainfully.
2017-04-27sparkler: respect fragment->frame_{width,height}Vito Caputo
should_draw_expire_if_oob() assumed the fragment represented the entire frame. Instead, return 0 if the coordinates are outside the fragment, but only reset longevity if outside of the frame. If sparkler goes threaded in the drawing, this would result in threads simply skipping particles outside the fragment. The longevity reset occurring in all threads appears suspicious but should be benign since they all write the same thing - 0.
2017-04-26sparkler: utilize context struct for module stateVito Caputo
2017-04-26sparkler: add virtual flag to particle_props_tVito Caputo
The burst particle abused a zero mass to circumvent the effects of aging. Instead use an explicit virtual flag to suppress aging, change busrt_cb to ignore all virtual particles instead of only its center. Previously burst_cb would thrust other bursts like any other particle, and this was incorrect. Now burst centers are always stationary, even when they overlap other bursts.
2017-04-22*: add module context machineryVito Caputo
introduces create_context() and destroy_context() methods, and adds a 'void *context' first parameter to the module methods. If a module doesn't supply create_context() then NULL is simply passed around as the context, so trivial modules can continue to only implement render_fragment(). A subsequent commit will update the modules to encapsulate their global state in module-specific contexts.
2017-04-22*: /render/render_fragment/ in rototiller_module_tVito Caputo
Adding more context to the name in anticipation of adding a prepare_frame() method to the module struct.
2017-04-21*: s/renderer/module/gVito Caputo
Make consistent with the source directory structure naming.
2017-04-21sparkler: remove vestigial draw.h from Makefile.amVito Caputo
2017-02-03*: use fb_fragment_zero() instead of memset()Vito Caputo
2017-02-03sparkler: drop draw.hVito Caputo
2017-02-03sparkler: use fb.h put_pixel helpersVito Caputo
discards draw_pixel(), introduces helpers.h and a convenience function for bounds checking and oob extermination. Move makergb to helpers.h, draw.h gets removed in a later commit.
2017-02-03rototiller: extricate draw_pixel() bounds checkingVito Caputo
If a z-buffer is added these checks will need to be done independent from and prior to drawing. Also it's silly to makergb() pixels which can't be drawn.
2017-01-18autotools: s#../../#@top_srcdir@/src#Vito Caputo
The relative path broke out-of-tree builds. Previously the following: $ mkdir /tmp/foo $ cd /tmp/foo $ ~/src/rototiller/configure $ make Would fail to compile unable to locate the headers in ~/rototiller/src This fixes it.
2017-01-18*: move source into src/ subdirVito Caputo
Restoring some organizational sanity since adopting autotools.
