The idea of this “library” is to do the least. The most natural way to
represent the image to render on a flipdot image is a two dimensional
array of booleans. This something BQN is very well equipped for, i.e. it
has primitives that are designed to deal with this type of data
structure. The only thing we have to do is to take care of sending such
arrays to the flipdot display via the μCCC's un(der)documented UDP
protocol.
Compact implements the conversion from a boolean array to a bitmap that
only uses 1 bit per pixel. All socket code is written in C and invoked
via •FFI. Currently, every time a bitmap is sent to a display, the
target host has to be resolved again. This should be fixed in the
future.
