Switched back to one texel per colour clock, at least for now. Attempted to break _RGBA assumption within the cathode ray view.

The cathode ray view no longer hard codes the frame size. So that's one less coupling. Doubled pixel output size to give sufficient sampling detail to capture the NTSC colour clock (ummm, hopefully).

Broke assumption that every item in a vertex description is a short, specifically turning lateral into a byte. Which buys me a byte for phase, if that's sufficient.

I'm ashamed to admit, I: played with numbers until enough things looked stable such that I can investigate other things. Discovery: my PAL autodetection was way off. Fixed, hopefully.

Full separate 'lateral' usage is go. Also probably at some point I need to throw in a phase property, which this new flexibility will help with.

Started making the format of data included in a CRTFrame less a matter of variously hard-coded magic constants. Which will allow me to separate the idea of an internal lateral position from the direct texture coordinate, avoiding precision sampling errors at the top and bottom.

Factored out a few more constants, started trying to ensure there's enough slack and the mechanisms in place for the CathodeRayView to hold onto two frames if it desires, for potential phosphor simulation, switched once again to additive blending — much more like a real CRT — and added a sine function across the width of spans per my understanding of how an electron gun actually fires.
Why do all this when overall timing is still so far off? It helps me more easily see how overall timing is so far off.

Slightly expanded width of cathode ray gun, decided to figure out exactly how to deal with off-by-one lengths and precision at a later date, ensured that failure to catch vertical sync doesn't cause out-of-bounds buffer access on the hard-coded, assumed large enough, 512x512 data textures.

Reshuffled to make the OpenGL view explicitly a conduit for CRT-style output, and to give it responsibility for frame drawing. Which is still an awkward thread hop for the time being, but I've yet to read up on the advocated approach to multithreading with an NSOpenGLView; it looked like special provisions were available.

The overall architecture of who has responsibility for what is now very askew but: the CRT now outputs a tightly packed short buffer, with the probable OpenGL destination in mind. So it's now all fixed arithmetic internally. CRTFrame is reduced to a plain C struct with the intention that the OpenGL view will take responsibility for it and stop doing the back-and-forth sprint on getting buffer data. The Atari 2600 now outputs explicit blanks rather than level blacks for its border, so that it's easier visually to debug the CRT in its form as far as it has currently progressed: to drawing lines where the cathode ray gun would run while outputting pixel. I note that I'm still not quite getting vertical sync right yet — I'm just accepting it anywhere in teh frame — but that should be an easy fix.
