│  MEMORY-OPTIMIZED HEIGHTMAP RENDERER USING QUARTER-WAVE SYMMETRY AND FIXED POINT
│  Educational Implementation for Memory-Constrained Systems
│  ===============================================================================
│  
│  This implementation demonstrates advanced memory optimization techniques
│  for embedded computer graphics, reducing trigonometric table size by 87%
│  while maintaining perfect mathematical accuracy.
│  
│  EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
│  ========================
│  - Master trigonometric symmetry properties
│  - Understand memory-speed tradeoffs in embedded systems
│  - Learn quarter-wave table optimization techniques
│  - Study quadrant mapping algorithms
│  
│  QUARTER-WAVE SYMMETRY THEORY:
│  ==============================
│  
│  The sine function exhibits perfect symmetry that allows us to store only
│  1/4 of the wave and reconstruct the full function through transformations.
│  
│  Visual representation of sine wave quadrants:

│         0   π/2    π  3π/2  2π
│  
│  MATHEMATICAL IDENTITIES:
│  
│  Quadrant I   [0, π/2]:     sin(x) = table[x]
│  Quadrant II  [π/2, π]:     sin(x) = sin(π - x) = table[π - x]
│  Quadrant III [π, 3π/2]:    sin(x) = -sin(x - π) = -table[x - π]
│  Quadrant IV  [3π/2, 2π]:   sin(x) = -sin(2π - x) = -table[2π - x]
│  
│  MEMORY SAVINGS CALCULATION:
│  ===========================
│  
│  Full table approach:
│    - 1024 entries × 4 bytes × 2 tables (sin+cos) = 8192 bytes
│  
│  Quarter-wave approach:
│    - 256 entries × 4 bytes × 1 table = 1024 bytes
│    - Cosine derived from: cos(x) = sin(π/2 - x)
│    - Total savings: 87.5% (7168 bytes)
│  
│  IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY:
│  ========================
│  
│  1. ANGLE NORMALIZATION:
│     - Reduce angle to [0, 2π) range using modulo arithmetic
│     - Avoids table overflow and maintains precision
│  
│  2. QUADRANT DETECTION:
│     - Compare against π/2, π, 3π/2 boundaries
│     - Each quadrant uses different transformation
│  
│  3. INDEX CALCULATION:
│     - Map normalized angle to table index [0, 255]
│     - Formula: index = (angle × 256) / (π/2)
│  
│  4. SYMMETRY APPLICATION:
│     - Apply appropriate transformation based on quadrant
│     - Sign changes and reflections as needed
│  
│  ALGORITHM WALKTHROUGH - fp_sin() Implementation:
│  =================================================
│  
│  INPUT: fixed_t angle (16.16 fixed-point radians)
│  OUTPUT: fixed_t sine value
│  
│  Step 1: Normalize angle to [0, 2π)
│    while (angle < 0) angle += FP_TWO_PI;
│    while (angle >= FP_TWO_PI) angle -= FP_TWO_PI;
│  
│  Step 2: Determine quadrant and apply transformation
│    if (angle < FP_PI_DIV_2) {
│      // Quadrant I: Direct lookup
│      index = angle × 256 / (π/2)
│      return quarter_sin_table[index]
│    }
│    else if (angle < FP_PI) {
│      // Quadrant II: Mirror around π/2
│      reflected = π - angle
│      index = reflected × 256 / (π/2)
│      return quarter_sin_table[index]
│    }
│    else if (angle < FP_3PI_DIV_2) {
│      // Quadrant III: Negate and shift
│      offset = angle - π
│      index = offset × 256 / (π/2)
│      return -quarter_sin_table[index]
│    }
│    else {
│      // Quadrant IV: Negate and mirror
│      reflected = 2π - angle
│      index = reflected × 256 / (π/2)
│      return -quarter_sin_table[index]
│    }
│  
│  COSINE DERIVATION:
│  ==================
│  
│  Mathematical identity: cos(x) = sin(π/2 - x)
│  
│  This elegant relationship allows us to compute cosine using the same
│  sine table with a phase shift, eliminating the need for a separate
│  cosine table entirely.
│  
│  Implementation: fp_cos(angle) = fp_sin(FP_PI_DIV_2 - angle)
│  
│  PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS:
│  =====================
│  
│  Time Complexity:
│    - Original (full table): O(1) - direct lookup
│    - Quarter-wave: O(1) - lookup + 1-2 arithmetic ops
│    - Performance impact: ~5-10% slower, negligible in practice
│  
│  Space Complexity:
│    - Original: 8KB constant space
│    - Quarter-wave: 1KB constant space
│    - Reduction: 87.5%
│  
│  ACCURACY COMPARISON:
│  ====================
│  
│  Both methods achieve IDENTICAL accuracy because:
│  1. Same precision in stored values (16.16 fixed-point)
│  2. Symmetry transformations are exact (no approximation)
│  3. Only arithmetic operations are addition/subtraction/negation
│  
│  Maximum error: 0 (perfect reconstruction)
│  
│  PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
│  =======================
│  
│  Ideal for:
│  - Microcontrollers with limited ROM/Flash
│  - FPGA implementations with constrained block RAM
│  - Real-time systems where 8KB matters
│  - Battery-powered devices (less memory = less power)
│  
│  Not recommended when:
│  - Memory is abundant
│  - Maximum speed is critical (5-10% overhead)
│  - Code simplicity is paramount
│  
│  EDUCATIONAL EXERCISES PROPOSED FOR THE READER 
│     ( and if you do, PR to tinyprograms :) )
│  ==============================================
│  
│  1. Implement eighth-wave table (128 entries) using additional symmetry
│  2. Add linear interpolation between table entries for higher precision
│  3. Create a hybrid approach: coarse table + polynomial refinement
│  4. Benchmark performance vs full table on different architectures
│  5. Implement CORDIC algorithm as alternative to tables
│  
│  COMPILATION:
│  ============

│  # Compile renderer
│  gcc raym_earth_fp.c -o raym_earth_fp -Os
│  
│  # For maximum size optimization
│  gcc raym_earth_fp.c -o raym_earth_fp -Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections
