2022-04-28libs/din: minor optimizationVito Caputo
compute scaled x/y coordinates less often by reusing them
2022-04-28modules/swab: switch to tiled fragmenterVito Caputo
Quick FPS based comparisons shows this simple change gets a nearly 10% FPS boost on this particular 4-core i7 laptop.

2022-04-27til_fb: til_fb_fragment_t.{pitch,stride} uint32_t unitsVito Caputo
Originally it seemed sensible to make these units of bytes, for flexibility reasons. But it's advantageous for everything to be able to assume pixels are always 4-byte/32-bit aligned. Having the stride/pitch be in bytes of units made it theoretically possible to produce unaligned rows of pixels, which would break that assumption. I don't think anything was ever actually producing such things, and I've added some asserts to the {sdl,drm}_fb.c page acquisition code to go fatal on such pages. This change required going through all the modules and get rid of their uint32_t vs. void* dances and other such 1-byte vs. 4-byte scaling arithmetic. Code is simpler now, and probably faster in some cases. And now allows future work to just assume things cna always occur 4-bytes at a time without concern for unaligned accesses.
2022-04-25modules/flui2d: add some gamma correctionVito Caputo
Without gamma correction the linear colors don't really pop, this helps tremendously. The gamma factor is hard-coded at 1.4 currently but may make sense as a runtime setting.
2022-04-25modules/flui2d: colorify the density fieldVito Caputo
This is a first approximation at introducing colors to flui2d, the emitter colors aren't really well tuned or anything yet.
2022-04-25modules/flui2d: introduce another emitter; "clockgrid"Vito Caputo
Inspired by my little fomo match-four game PoC, this is a similar style phased emitter grid layout producing some neat turbulent interactions. Introduces an emitters={figure8,clockgrid} setting, and when clockgrid is used, a clockstep=[.05-.99] for the radians step made from one grid cell's emitter to the next where 1=2PI.
2022-04-25modules/pixbounce: rand start pos and dirPhilip J Freeman
2022-04-25modules/swarm: use put_pixel_checked() to stop segfaultingVito Caputo
During rtv runs we'd occasionally segfault in the unchecked line drawing. This needs to be fixed, but for now just go slower.
2022-04-25modules/blinds: add count and orientation settingsVito Caputo
This adds count=N and orientation={horizontal,vertical} settings. Which was precipitated by the introduction of a vertical blinds mode. e.g.: --module=blinds,count=32,orientation=vertical or for a quick tour of the possibilities: --module=rtv,channels=blinds,duration=1,context_duration=1,snow_duration=0 weeeee
2022-04-25modules/compose: implement layer setting randomizerVito Caputo
It's getting crazy in here, this is fun: --module=rtv,channels=compose,duration=1,snow_duration=0,context_duration=1 which will rejigger the commpose module w/randomized layers every second.
2022-04-25modules/*: set TIL_MODULE_OVERLAYABLE where appropriateVito Caputo
In the interests of facilitating randomized automagic layered compositing, tell the world when you're overlay-appropriate.
2022-04-24*: free setup allocations via til_setup_free()Vito Caputo
This should plug a bulk of the setup leaks. Some of the free_funcs still need to be changed to bespoke ones in modules that allocate nested things in their respective setup, so those are still leaking the nested things which are usually just a small strdup of some kind.
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.
2022-04-22modules/compose: randomize layer settingsVito Caputo
Randomize the setting of the layered modules like rtv does. This needs to free the setup, similarly to the others, once that facility is added.
2022-04-22modules/montage: randomize module setupsVito Caputo
Instead of always showing defaults, randomize the setup like rtv does.
2022-04-22til: make til_module_randomize_setup() return -errnoVito Caputo
This makes the arg return optional by using a res_arg pointer, instead returning -ENOMEM when it would have returned NULL on allocation failures. This also makes it possible to detect when no setup was performed, by returning 0 in such a case. Now returns 1 when setup occurs and res pointers populated.
2022-04-22til: add til_module_randomize_setup() from rtvVito Caputo
This commit pulls the setup randomizer out of rtv into libtil proper, so other modules may make use of it. Other than adding an assert no functional changes occurred. It may make sense to split this into two functions; one which takes a til_module_t as-is, and a lower-level bare setup function callback based function that doesn't know about til_module_t the former would call into. That way generic setup randomization can occur (the same setup machinery is used in video contexts for example) without necessarily having a til_module_t on hand.
2022-04-22modules/checkers: experimenting with a checkers overlayVito Caputo
This adds a checkers style overlay module, it's not terribly interesting but may be made more useful if modules start differentiating themselves as substantial vs. overlay effects. It'd be nice if rtv/compose could automagically apply and randomize overlay modules atop others, which would make use of this type of thing as well as encourage more small modules like these be written.
2022-04-22modules/montage: stop assuming modules don't fragmentVito Caputo
There's been a longstanding todo item in montage where it was ignoring the fragmenter returned by a module's prepare_frame(). This commit continues with the single-threaded rendering of the modules within their respective tiles, still ad-hoc open coded. But now actually applies the fragmenter returned as if the rendering were being threaded, since when a module returns a fragmenter from its prepare_frame() it may strongly depend on that fragmenting for its output.
2022-04-19modules/blinds: add simple 80s-aesthetic window blindsVito Caputo
This isn't super interesting but I might just start adding simplistic overlay style modules for compositing/transition use.
2022-04-19*: s/til_fb_fragment_zero/til_fb_fragment_clear/Vito Caputo
Mechanical renaming of "zero" to "clear" throughout for this context.
2022-04-14modules/*: remove srand() initializationsVito Caputo
Just rely on til_init()'s srand() ensuring things are fresh.
2022-04-01modules/*: instantiate and use setupsVito Caputo
Now modules allocate and return an opaque setup pointer in res_setup when they implement a setup method. Defaults are utilized when ${module}_create_context() receives a NULL setup. The default setup used in this case should match the defaults/preferred values emitted by the module's setup method. But performing setup should always be optional, so a NULL setup provided to create_context() is to be expected. No cleanup of these setup instances is currently performed, so it's a small memory leak for now. Since these are opaque and may contain nested references to other allocations, simply using free() somewhere in the frontend is insufficient. There will probably need to be something like a til_module_t.setup_free() method added in the future which modules may assign libc's free() to when appropriate, or their own more elaborate version. Lifecycle for the settings is very simple; the setup method returns an instance, the caller is expected to free it when no longer needed (once free is implemented). The create_context consumer of a given setup must make its own copy of the settings if necessary, and may not keep a reference - it must assume the setup will be freed immediately after create_context() returns. This enables the ability to reuse a setup instance across multiple create_context() calls if desired, one can imagine something like running the same module with the same settings multiple times across multiple displays for instance. If the module has significant entropy the output will differ despite being configured identically... With this commit one may change settings for any of the modules *while* the modules are actively rendering a given context, and the settings should *not* be visible. They should only affect the context they're supplied to.
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
2022-03-30*: use til_module_create_context() in more placesVito Caputo
Just mechanical replacement of some remaining ad-hoc til_module_t.create_context() calls. The montage module continues using an ad-hoc call because it forces num_cpus=1 since it's already a threaded using a fragment per module's tile. This suggests the til_module_create_context() call should probably accept a num_cpus parameter, perhaps treating a 0 value as the "automagic" discover value so callers can explicitly set it when necessary.
2022-03-28modules/swarm: add lines drawing styleVito Caputo
Introduce drawing styles, adding a line style in addition to the existing points. Settings are style={points,lines}, default is now lines.
2022-03-28modules/swarm: remove extra ticks multiply on leader radsVito Caputo
No idea why this was in there. Though it makes the leader jump by huge values, since it still winds up as samples on the same path, just non-continuous, the swarm still appears correct, hiding this braino. If you reduce the SWARM_SIZE to a tiny number like 2 though, it becomes very obvious that the leader is teleporting all over the place.
2022-03-25modules/compose: -EINVAL on empty layers settingVito Caputo
This resulted in a NULL ptr deref, simply treating as invalid since what's the point of handling a composition devoid of any layers - it's probably a mistake.
2022-03-19modules/sparkler: clarify BSP-tree setting descsVito Caputo
attempt at making these more clear
2022-03-19*: de-constify til_setting_t throughoutVito Caputo
Now that til_setting_t.desc is not only a thing, but a thing that is intended to be refreshed regularly in the course of things like GUI interactive settings construction, it's not really appropriate to try even act like this these are const anymore.
2022-03-19*: use til_module_destroy_context()Vito Caputo
Mechanically replaced ad-hoc til_module_t.destroy_context() invocations with helper calls.
2022-03-19*: normalize setting description capitalizationsVito Caputo
Always only capitalize the first letter, never capitalize like titles.
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.
2022-03-12til_settings: always describe relevant settingsVito Caputo
The existing iterative *_setup() interface only described settings not found, quietly accepting usable settings already present in the til_settings_t. This worked fine for the existing interactive text setup thing, but it's especially problematic for providing a GUI setup frontend. This commit makes it so the *_setup() methods always describe undescribed settings they recognize, leaving the setup frontend loop calling into the *_setup() methods to both apply the description validation if wanted and actually tie the description to respective setting returned by the _setup() methods as being related to the returned description. A new helper called til_settings_get_and_describe_value() has been introduced primarily for use of module setup methods to simplify this nonsense, replacing the til_settings_get_value() calls and surrounding logic, but retaining the til_setting_desc_t definitions largely verbatim. This also results in discarding of some ad-hoc til_setting_desc_check() calls, now that there's a centralized place where settings become "described" (setup_interactively in the case of rototiller). Now a GUI frontend (like glimmer) would just provide its own setup_interactively() equivalent for constructing its widgets for a given *_setup() method's chain of returned descs. Whereas in the past this wasn't really feasible unless there was never going to be pre-supplied settings. I suspect the til_setting_desc_check() integration into setup_interactively() needs more work, but I think this is good enough for now and I'm out of spare time for the moment.
2022-02-15modules/flui2d: introduce settable decay factorVito Caputo
The existing simulation would always accumulate, eventually filling the volume with density. This adds a decay to diminish the density, with the default less quickly filling the volume vs. before.
2022-02-15modules/*: remove inappropriate 'f' numeric suffixesVito Caputo
These are making it into the settings strings, it's benign only because regexps aren't currently being enforced. Fix it up anyways.
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_.
2021-02-18modules/rtv: fix "none" snow to actually blankVito Caputo
This manifests in the current unconfigured rtv glimmer shows, since the default is a the "none" module when no settings are applied. But it turns out this isn't just a glimmer problem, "none" is advertised in the settings as a blanking alternative to snow. So it's actually broken in rototiller as well. This fixes it by detecting the nil "none" module's lack of any prepare_frame or render_fragment methods, and open coding the blanker with a fb_fragment_zero() inline.
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.
2021-02-14compose,montage,rtv: drop author and license fieldsVito Caputo
These modules are meta modules, and the only place this information is presented currently is in the rtv module captions overlaying the visual output of unrelated modules. So it's rather misleading to put the meta module's author and license on-screen when what's being shown is arguably just a tiny fraction of the meta module's contribution. Rather than bother with constructing license and author lists at runtime from the modules incorporated by these meta modules, let's instead adopt a policy of meta modules omit any declaration of license or authorship outside of the source. This is a simple solution for now, it can be revisited later if necessary. Changing the .author member of rototiller_module_t to an .authors() function pointer wouldn't be difficult. But it does open up something of a can of worms when considering recursive dependencies and needing to construct unique authors and licenses lists from things like nested meta modules. Obviously there can't be infinite recursion as that would manifest in the rendering path as well, but what I'm more concerned about is properly handling potentialy quite long lists. It's already annoying when rtv has to deal with a long settings string, which I believe currently is just truncated. The same would have to be done with long authors/licenses I guess. In any case, I think it's probably fine to just leave authorship and license ambiguous when a meta module is shown in rtv. It's certainly preferable to vcaputo@pengaru.com getting credit for everything shown in the three meta modules currently implemented, or more specifically, the two shown in rtv; compose and montage. Note this required making rtv tolerante of NULL .license and .author rototiller_module_t members.
2021-02-08modules/*: normalize description capitalizationVito Caputo
Minor cosmetic consistency fixup
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...
2021-02-07modules/plasma: normalize plasma dimensionsVito Caputo
This is a quick and dirty jab at normalizing the plasma size to be independent of the frame size. I kind of hate this module as-is, it's tempting to discard all the fixed point stuff and just redo it using floats.. the plasma itself isn't that attractive as-is either. But I have other things to work on currently, just wanted to make it so the plasma doesn't look like a solid color in the montage tile.
2021-02-07modules/plasma: trivial cleanupsVito Caputo
- move LUT initialization to context create - minor syntactic changes
2021-01-18modules/drizzle: low-hanging fruit optimizationsVito Caputo
- switch puddle_sample() to 0..1 coordinates to avoid some pointless extra arithmetic on every pixel - avoid redundant ->w multiplies in puddle_sample() - avoid multiplies in inner loops of drizzle_render_fragment() by accumulating coordinates w/addition instead I noticed full-screen 'compose' was struggling to keep a full frame rate on my laptop when testing with the new 'plato' layer. valgrind profiles showed drizzle as the big hog, mostly the puddle_sample() function. These changes help but it's still not great, getting much better will likely become invasive and crufty. It would be nice to cache the vertical lerp results and reuse them across puddle_sample() calls when valid, that might be a useful TODO. The runner-up is spiro, prolly some low-hanging fruit there as well, I haven't looked yet.
2021-01-17compose: add plato to default layersVito Caputo
now: "drizzle:stars:spiro:plato"
2021-01-17plato: regular convex polyhedrons in 3DVito Caputo
plato implements very simple software-rendered 3D models of the five convex regular polyhedra / Platonic solids Some TODO items: - procedurally generate vertices at runtime - add hidden surface removal setting (Z-buffer?) - add flat shaded rendering setting - add gouraud shading, maybe phong too? - show dual polyhedra This was more about slapping together a minimal 3D wireframe software renderer than anything to do with polyhedra, convex regular polyhedra just seemed like an excellent substrate since they're so simple to model.
