## view.nas
##
## Nasal code for implementing view-specific functionality. Right
## now, it does intelligent FOV scaling in the view.increase() and
## view.decrease() handlers.
##
#
# This is a neat trick. We want these globals to be initialized at
# startup, but there is no guarantee that the props.nas module will be
# loaded yet when we are run. So set the values to nil at startup (so
# that there is a value in the lexical environment -- otherwise
# assigning them in INIT() will only make local variables),
# and then assign them from inside a timer that we set to run
# immediately *after* startup.
#
# Nifty hacks notwithstanding, this really isn't the right way to do
# this. There ought to be an "import" mechanism we can use to resolve
# dependencies between modules.
#
fovProp = nil;
INIT = func {
fovProp = props.globals.getNode("/sim/current-view/field-of-view");
}
settimer(INIT, 0);
# Dynamically calculate limits so that it takes STEPS iterations to
# traverse the whole range, the maximum FOV is fixed at 120 degrees,
# and the minimum corresponds to normal maximum human visual acuity
# (~1 arc minute of resolution, although apparently people vary widely
# in this ability). Quick derivation of the math:
#
# mul^steps = max/min
# steps * ln(mul) = ln(max/min)
# mul = exp(ln(max/min) / steps)
STEPS = 40;
ACUITY = 1/60; # Maximum angle subtended by one pixel (== 1 arc minute)
max = min = mul = 0;
calcMul = func {
max = 120; # Fixed at 120 degrees
min = getprop("/sim/startup/xsize") * ACUITY;
mul = math.exp(math.ln(max/min) / STEPS);
}

}
##
# Handler. Decrease FOV by one step
#

calcMul();
val = fovProp.getValue() / mul;
