* remove "return FRAMETIME" from all FX, fix timing for some FX
- all FX now render every frame, no more "speed up" during transitions
* fix missing return by adding FS_FALLBACK_STATIC macro
* add FX_FALLBACK_STATIC also to user_fx
* remove obsolete seg.next_time
Adding symmetrical but random pushing leads to better stacking, also pushing more if large particles are too close helps to separate them better. Pushing them every frame also helps.
Pushing only particle1 as it was tends to lead to more collapsing and some random movement within a pile. There was also a bug which applied way to much velocity unnecessarily.
- bugfix in mass based 2D collisions
- added improved and faster large size rendering to 1D system
- added per-particle size rendering to 1D system
- improved and simplified collision handling in 1D system
- removed local blurring functions in PS as they are not needed anymore for particle rendering
- adapted FX to work with the new rendering
- fixed outdated AR handling in PS FX
- fixed infinite loop if not enough memory
- updated PS Hourglass drop interval to simpler math: speed / 10 = time in seconds and improved particle handling
- reduced speed in PS Pinball to fix collision slip-through
- PS Box now auto-adjusts number of particles based on matrix size and particle size
- added safety check to 2D particle rendering to not crash if something goes wrong with out-of bounds particle rendering
- improved binning for particle collisions: dont use binning for small number of particles (faster)
- Some code cleanup
- better size control as size is now exactly mappable to pixels so it can be matched exactly to the collision distance
- no more gaps due to collision distance mismatch
- much faster: saw up to 30% improvement in FPS
- also adjusted some of the FX to make better use of the new rendering
* improvements to Aurora FX
- converted to integer math, increasing speed on all ESPs, also shrinks code size
- caching values to avoid repeated calculations
- CRGBW instead or CRGB, adds white channel support when not using palette
- fix for new brightness/gamma handling
* overflow & unsigned fix
- if a segment is destroyed or turned inactive, disable the gif player: only one gif player instance can run at a time, if a inactive or destroyed segment uses it, the effect is broken for other segments.
- copy FX ironically copied the source segment on each call, should use reference not a copy!
Sends a shimmer across the strip at defined (or random) intervals
Optional brightness modulators: sine or perlin noise
Can be used as an overlay to other effects.
* adding center bin selection to 2D GEQ: this makes it possible to use subsets of the GEQ on distributed strips
setting custom3 to 0 gives the "old" behaviour, this is the default. existing presets will have the custom3 slider at the center, changing presets that do not use the full width so this is a breaking change for those but I assume theser are rare.
* updated color scaling to preserve hue at low brightness resulting in much better colors
* replace NPBlg with NPB, moved brightness scaling to bus manager
* improved gamma table calculation: fixed mismatch in inverting gamma table calculation: inversion should now be as good as it gets
* code cleanup, fixed gamma being applied in unnecessary places
Improvements to ABL handling:
- removed strip level handling, ist now all done on bus level
- limiter now respects pixel mapping
- proper handling of white channel
- improved current estimation
- current is now always correctly reported to UI
- minimal FPS impact if the ABL is not limiting but slighly higher impact for global ABL limit due to double-scaling
- moved brightness scaling to BusDigital
- created new header file colors.h to be able to access color functions in bus-manager.
- updated colo_fade() with better video scaling to preserve hue's at low brightness
- added IRAM_ATTR to color_fade (negligible speed impact when compared to inline and benefits other functions)
- added IRAM_ATTR to color_blend as it is used a lot throughout the code, did not test speed impact but adding it to color_fade made it almost on-par with an inlined function
Additional changes:
- fixes for properly handling `scaledBri()` (by @blazoncek)
- also use bit-shift instead of division in blending for ESP8266
- improvements for faster "softlight" calculation in blending
- changed some variables to uint8_t to maybe let the compiler optimize better, uint8_t can be faster if read, store and set are all done in uint8_t, which is the case in the ones I changed
- various minor code formatting changes
- using segment buffer instead of local buffer to save FX ram
- fix rendering if gamma correction is disabled
- some code cleanup
- Fix for low RAM: reduce number of particles dynamically
- updated add and scale color functions to not use references
- FPS is now more consistent and on average about 15% faster
* Added FX to copy a segment in 1D or 2D
- copies the source segment
- brightness of segment is relative to source segment
- optionally shifts the color hue, saturation and brightness
- invert, transpose, mirror work
- if source or targets do not match in size, smallest size is copied
- unused pixels fade to black (allows overlapping segments)
- if invalid source ID is set, segment just fades to black
- added a rgb2hsv conversion function as the fastled variant is inaccurate and buggy
- 1D to 2D and vice versa are supported
* enhancement & bugfixes in scrolling text
- function now evaluates full string: allows custom text plus multiple tokens in any order
- fixed evaluation order to prevent early exit(s)
- fixed day strings (argument must be weekday() )
- fixed "jumpyness" by improving offset calculation resolution
- added palette support
- added two rendering modes for use with palette: one uses hue-mapping, one uses brightness mapping
- added alternate animation mode (from initial source)
- extended scaling: zoom checkmark (depends on matrix size)
- fixed inconsitencies in size rendering
- fixed palette being wrapped in color by position and color by age modes
- Fixed bug in memory layout: for some unknown reason, if flags come before particles, last flag is sometimes overwritten, changing memory laout seems to fix that
- New color modes in PS Fireworks 1D:
- custom3 slider < 16: lower saturation (check1: single color or multi-color explosions)
- custom3 slider <= 23: full saturation (check1: single color or multi-color explosions)
- custom3 slider > 23: color by speed (check 1 has not effect here)
- custom slider = max: color by age or color by position (depends on check1)
- Photoshop-style segment/layer blending
- return of strip ABL
- remove global LED buffer in favour of segment-local buffer
- new effect blending modes/transitions
- custom palettes moved out of WS2812FX class
- increased limits (matrix size, LED RAM)
- added "rainbow"-mode colorwheel
- replaced palettes with gamma unmodified ones
- move gamma adjustment to last step before sending to LEDs
- Segment & WS2812FX class reorganisation (mutable members, reordered members, protected members)
* Removed memory manager from PS
- reverted all changes related to memory manager
- moved local buffer into effect data memory
- some RAM issues may occur on larger setups: tested on S3 it works fine up to 32x32 but runs into memory issues at 64x32
* fixed ifdef, improved readability, add optimize "o2" flags to improve speed
- added struct for x and y coordinates, thx to @blazoncek
* cleanup and minor improvements
- removed local buffer for ESP8266 in 1D system to save on RAM
- increased particle brightness in PS Impact
- minor tweak in collision binning (might improve speed)
- removed comments and some other unused stuff
- fixed a few compiler wranings
* fixed init sequence bug
* added Sonic Boom AR FX, some tweaks to Sonic Stream
* added white color option to Sonic Stream
* improvements to collisions (speed look-ahead)
* code prettified
* added "playful" mode to PS Chase plus some minor speed optimizations
* Adding new FX: PS Springy with many config options
