Release v1.35.0 · kevinraymond/fosfora

Feedback backgrounds no longer change brightness with the frame rate. The 14 effects
that accumulate particles into a trail — Cascade, Tesla, Mycelium and others — settled at
about half their intended brightness at 30 fps and double at 120. Measured on Cascade:
47.7% spread across 30/60/120 fps, now 6%. Nothing moves at 60 fps.
Particle ribbon trails last the same time at any frame rate. Cleave, Tide and Vessel
measured their trails in frames, so a trail running 267 ms at 60 fps stretched to 533 ms
at 30 and shrank to 133 ms at 120.
Panorama's graticule no longer brightens or smears with the frame rate. Its centre and
edge guides were drawn at a fixed strength per frame, and its echo drifted a fixed distance
per frame, so the reference line the effect exists to provide got both stronger and wider
the faster your machine ran. Brightness spread across 30/60/120 fps drops from 59% to 1%.
Ascend's horizon wake rises at the same speed on any machine. The afterglow climbed a
fixed distance every frame rather than every second, so it travelled twice as far per
second at 120 fps as at 60. Brightness spread across 30/60/120 fps drops from 14% to 2%.
Diffusion blur is measured in seconds now, so Protea's bodies, Sumi's ink and
Polycephalum's network smooth at the same rate however fast the machine runs. Protea's
brightness spread across 30/60/120 fps drops from 41% to 18%.
