Redactd's feature wishlist

He likes the FastLED library, so it would be useful to get familiar with its capabilities

Here are some feature requests, listed in order of increasing difficulty:

• Ability to re-order the light indices and re-export those as a correctly ordered OBJ

  • Create a mechanism to detect cursor overlap on the verts
  • Create a mechanism to select the verts
  • Deselect all verts with ctrl-d
  • Add a "mode" to initiate this state
  • Start to do the re-ordering
  • Persist the state of the re-ordered object
  • Export the state of the re-ordered object
  • Make the UI for re-ordering the object BETTER

• Ability to create a grid matrix in this software, with the ability to delete certain points

  • Also add some options like these: https://macetech.github.io/FastLED-XY-Map-Generator/

• Draw pixel art on the lights, one light at a time, with multi-frame support

  • Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNogUc4_8GM&list=PLDVHtC_tOo9GrB7hhHLN-oA3NHQOo-t_Z&t=693s
  • Another Example: https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/defconfurs/dcfurs-badge-dc28/blob/master/webanimator.html
  • "add frame"
  • "previous frame"
  • "next frame"
  • Framerate control
  • Color picker
  • Click on light to color with the color picker value
  • Display a palette of all used colors to pick from

• Project a texture through the space to assign colors to lights

  • Explore existing UV coords vs in-browser mapping
    • UV
    • In-browser
  • Static texture first
    • Show manipulators
    • Add a toggle to hide all the non-light elements in the 3d space
    • Show projection vector
    • Show transparent plane with the texture image on it parented to the manipulators
  • Animated texture next
    • Framerate control

• Ability to scroll text

  • Generate the image at the size with a bitmap font
  • Select some good bitmap fonts
  • scroll speed
  • banner spacing for text repeat

• Look up WLED's web interface? What are they doing that's cool? https://kno.wled.ge/

  • Look at how it sets up "Segments"
