Just something quick and dirty to differentiate roto layers, plus
it's kind of boring having roto always start at the same state.

It's no longer necessary to specify both snow_duration=0 AND
snow_module=none to disable snow, just specify snow_module=none.
A future commit should really make describing the "snow_duration"
setting contingent on snow_module != "none".
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
The code was deliberately showing a single frame of snow when
snow_duration=0, since the durations are integral seconds ther
was no way to have a sub 1-second snow otherwise.
snow_module=none just means cleared for the snow_duration, not no
snow mechanism whatsoever. So the combination of 0 duration and
"none" was still flashing a single blank frame.
With this commit the combination of "none" and 0 snow_duration
prevents even a single frame of blank snow from being rendered.

cosmetic indentation fixup

Mechanical rename to something less ambiguous in a world with
til_settings_t, til_setting_t, and til_setup_t etc.

This adds a voronoi diagram module, which when used as an overlay
produces a mosaic effect.
Some settings:
cells=N number of voronoi cells
randomize={on,off} randomizes the cell locations every frame
dirty={on,off} uses a faster sloppy/dithery-looking method
Some TODO items:
- use a more space efficient representation of the distance
buffer, maybe use uint16_t relative offsets into the cells
rather than pointers - capping their quantity to 64KiB
- anti-alias edges between cells

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.

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.
|
|
This is a first approximation at introducing colors to flui2d, the
emitter colors aren't really well tuned or anything yet.
|
|
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.

During rtv runs we'd occasionally segfault in the unchecked line
drawing. This needs to be fixed, but for now just go slower.
|
|
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
|
|
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.

|
In the interests of facilitating randomized automagic layered
compositing, tell the world when you're overlay-appropriate.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Instead of always showing defaults, randomize the setup like rtv
does.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|

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.
|
|
This isn't super interesting but I might just start adding
simplistic overlay style modules for compositing/transition use.
|
|
Mechanical renaming of "zero" to "clear" throughout for this
context.
|
|
Just rely on til_init()'s srand() ensuring things are fresh.

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.
|
|
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

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.
|
|
Introduce drawing styles, adding a line style in addition to the
existing points.
Settings are style={points,lines}, default is now lines.

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.
|
|
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.
|
|
attempt at making these more clear
|
|
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.
|
|
Mechanically replaced ad-hoc til_module_t.destroy_context()
invocations with helper calls.

Always only capitalize the first letter, never capitalize like

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.

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.

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.
|
|
These are making it into the settings strings, it's benign only
because regexps aren't currently being enforced. Fix it up
anyways.

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_.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
