point.rs
========
point.rs is a Rust library that provides the core `Point` types for other laser
projection libraries.
Are you a laser programmer?
---------------------------
If you program with lasers, I've compiled a small (non-exhaustive) list of
libraries and other references. Back in the early 2010's, there weren't very
many resources for programming with lasers. This has changed quite a bit in
recent years. Here's a list to help you get started.
### Rust laser projection libraries
- [beam.rs](https://github.com/echelon/beam.rs), a laser projection algorithm
library.
- [ilda.rs](https://github.com/echelon/ilda.rs), an ILDA file parser. This reads
standard ILDA laser projection files.
- [lase.rs](https://github.com/echelon/lase.rs), a Multi-DAC client library
(only etherdream is supported right now, but more will be added soon).
- [point.rs](https://github.com/echelon/point.rs) **[you are here]**, defines
the core laser projection `Point` types.
### Helpful Programs / Utilities
- [Etherdream Emulator](https://github.com/echelon/etherdream-emulator),
a program that acts as a virtual DAC and visualizes laser projection.
- [Ilda Player](https://github.com/echelon/ilda-player), a program for
projecting ILDA files.
### Other code of interest
- [Go Ether Dream](https://github.com/tgreiser/etherdream), Tim's Golang
Ether Dream client library.
- [Laser Asteroids](https://github.com/echelon/laser-asteroids), a game I
wrote in Python.
- [Laser Graffiti](https://github.com/echelon/laser-graffiti), a novel program
for drawing lasers with lasers.
- [Laser Pong](https://github.com/echelon/laser-pong), another game I wrote
in Python.
### Other resources
- [lasers.io](http://lasers.io), my website for laser projection. It will be
updated with algorithms and a laser programming blog in the future.
- [Photon Lexicon](https://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/), _the_ laser
projection forum. It's a welcoming community with lots of advice.
