Started sketching out an Acorn Electron emulation, as it's a platform I'm familiar with and will force me to figure out PAL decoding. Factored out NTSC-specific parts of the display decoding logic and hence added RGB output mode.

Very, _very_ minor: switched to normal C++ constructor syntax for simple variable initialisation.

Switched down to four samples per pixel, just more than half as many, to fit into a vec4. Edges aren't as smooth but I'm wondering whether it'll make much odds when I implement a shadow mask.

Of course, being in-phase means being the cosine wave.

Okay, it looks like colour 3 is approximately phase offset 0, and the palette wraps around after 14 entries, not 16. Also got a bit less dependent on floating point accuracy for the step.

Formally gave the 2600 responsibility for providing the code that decodes one of the things it has put into a buffer into a composite sample.

Experimenting with pre-encoding luminance and chrominance separation over on the
...
CPU as otherwise the GPU does them repetitively and more awkwardly (as it's working purely in floats). It means uploading twice as much data though, so I don't
know. Still only half as much as the RGBA path of a few days ago. Will experiment.
Also slightly adjusted division of responsibility in the fragment shader per the
desire to have the `sample` function owned externally.

It's the worst fragment shader you'll ever see. The worst. But this attempts NTSC composite video emulation, artefacts included.

At last! Discovered CRT scanning bug; was always moving by the full proposed run length along the scan, not the time until the next event. Using this, have implemented proper vertical sync at last (I think). Have disabled scanline banding too, as now everything meets up it's more helpful to be able to see with clarity.

Ensured that no backlog accumulates of cycles to run. Otherwise the background queue was lagging behind.

Not that it makes a lot of difference, there being no names to mangle, but moved the closing #ifdef __cplusplus to the idiomatic place.

Wired up joystick directions, at least, and fire button presses get as far as the C++. But there's some latching to figure out before they'll work.

Switched vertical sync detection method, at least for now. They never happen automatically (I need to fix that) and just always take effect if detected in the lower half of the display. PAL/NTSC is determined just by looking at the refresh rate.

Quickie: observed that the initial position is one scanline dirty, not zero. Also switched to a size_t on the write pointer, size_t being the correct C size for into-memory offsets.

Made attempt not to touch the _collisions registers (which are instance variables) unless the local variables imply it's potentially necessary. So that's a broad phase on collisions, I guess.

My understanding now is that object position counting will begin the cycle after the call is made, not that cycle, and that the timer loops just once, with the logic for counter pumping being whether the relevant flag is still set, irregardless of whether the counter is still going.
