2021-02-14*: split rototiller.[ch] into lib and mainVito Caputo
This is a first approximation of separating the core modules and threaded rendering from the cli-centric rototiller program and its sdl+drm video backends. Unfortunately this seemed to require switching over to libtool archives (.la) to permit consolidating the per-lib and per-module .a files into the librototiller.a and linking just with librototiller.a to depend on the aggregate of libs+modules+librototiller-glue in a simple fashion. If an alternative to .la comes up I will switch over to it, using libtool really slows down the build process. Those are implementation/build system details though. What's important in these changes is establishing something resembling a librototiller API boundary, enabling creating alternative frontends which vendor this tree as a submodule and link just to librototiller.{la,a} for all the modules+threaded rendering of them, while providing their own fb_ops_t for outputting into, and their own settings applicators for driving the modules setup.
2021-02-08modules/swarm: implement a particles swarm moduleVito Caputo
Just a fun little swarm based loosely on 80s-era boids It would be interesting to make stuff like the # of particles and the weights runtime configurable, or exposed as knobs. Using a Z-buffer for occlusions and perhaps shading by depth might make a significant improvement on the visual quality. It might also be interesting to draw the particles as lines connecting their current position with their previous, instead as pixels. Or fat pixels like stars...
