This looks like a pretty major change, but in reality,
80% of it is just renames of types and corresponding
methods.
The config parsing code has been completely replaced
with a boost::program_options based version. This
means that the config file format slightly changed
(checkout the updated README).
I still expect there to be bugs / unforseen events.
Those should be fixed in follow up commits.
Also, finally reverted back to using pkg-config to
locate and link libruby. Yay for less hacks!
An exception is made of TexPool, which will need a
bit more testing before transitioning to std containers.
Also replace 'int' with 'size_t' where it is used only
as an array index.
The general rule I'm aiming for is to <> include
system wide / installed paths / generally everything
that's outside the git managed source tree (this means
mruby paths too!), and "" include everything else,
ie. local mkxp headers.
The only current exception are the mri headers, which
all have './' at their front as to not clash with
system wide ruby headers. I'm leaving them be for now
until I can come up with a better general solution.
We now actively track how far behind / in front of an
ideal timestep we are during each frame, and try to
catch up / delay approximate this timing.
Therefore we use more precise timers and sleep functions
(nanosleep if available). We also delay **before** the
final buffer swap so the frame displays at more consistent
points in time.
Not only should this provide a somewhat more consistent
looking map scrolling at lower frame rates, it also
guarantees that we don't fall out of sync eg. with the
Audio during longer cutscenes.
'Graphics.frameReset()' now finally has a function, in
that it resets the ideal timestep approximation, which I
beliefe was also its job in the original RMXP engine.
I'm not sure how well this will work when the frame rate
is set to the monitor refresh rate and vsync is turned on.
Very likely unnecessary frame skips will occur here and there
due to imprecise timers. In the future we should probably
check if the frame rate is equal to or higher than the
monitor rate, and disable frame skip accordingly.
These changes currently break the F2 FPS display (it shows
a value that's slightly too high).
Using "SDL2/SDL_xxx.h" instead of "SDL_xxx.h" caused
the include paths provided by pkg-config to be ignored,
and headers from a standard include path to be used instead.
