Add a test case that the bmp2dhr output of input filenames containing
'.' are handled correctly.
Break out video.Mode into video_mode.VideoMode to resolve circular
dependency.
- Extract out a (File)FrameSequencer class from Video to encapsulate
the generation of still frames. This also makes Video easier to test.
- Fix FileFrameSequencer.frames() to correctly handle filenames
containing '.'
- Temporarily switch to the BMP2DHR NTSC palette (#5) for evaluation.
Video:
- Temporarily hardcode DHGR decoding
- Optimize _heapify_priorities() by using numpy to vectorize the
construction of the list of tuples. This requires changing the
random nonce to an int so the intermediate array has a uniform type.
- Use the efficient 28-bit representation of DHGR (aux, main, aux,
main) tuples introduced in DHGRBitmap to evaluate diffs
- Switch to np.int type for accumulating diffs, and random.randint(0,
10000) instead of float for nonce values.
- Fix/improve some of the error evaluation in _index_changes:
- skip offsets whose diffs have already been cleared
- hoist some stuff out of _compute_error into the parent
- Add some validation that when we run out of work to do with a frame,
the source and target memory maps should be equal. This isn't
happening sometimes, i.e. there is a bug.
- Every time we process an ACK opcode, toggle page 1/page 2 soft
switches to steer subsequent writes between MAIN and AUX memory
- while I'm here, squeeze out some unnecessary operations from the
buffer management
On the player side, this is implemented by maintaining two screen
memory maps, and alternating between opcode streams for each of them.
This is using entirely the wrong colour model for errors, but
surprisingly it already works pretty well in practise (and the frame
rate is acceptable on test videos)
DHGR/HGR could be made runtime selectable by adding a header byte that
determines whether to set the DHGR soft switches before initiating
the decode loop.
While I'm in here, fix op_terminate to clear keyboard strobe before
waiting.
- can't emit Terminate opcode in the middle of the bytestream
- pad the TCP stream to next 2k boundary when emitting terminate opcode,
since the player will block until receiving this much data.
