A k-d tree is probably + better though, since once can play with the hyperplane heuristics to better + suit ray tracing and adapt to the scene complexity.

Can we have a drm program running discrete effects on multiple monitors, in a tear-free fashion on all of them?

Turning sparkler into just a platform which manages memory, + indexes space, and runs the chosen rules would be neat. As-is one would just + clone the sparkler module to a new tree and start tweaking things and adding + new particle types, which is fine just inelegant. -- cgit v1.2.1
