igcp: IGC flight data parser

Work in progress.

Goals are: parsing an IGC file containing flight data, giving analytics about the flight, and if I really have time to kill, making some kind of (3D??) view of the flight..

TODO:

• convert sexagesimal (deg/min/sec) coordinates to decimal degrees
• convert decimal degrees to cartesian (x, y, z) coordinates
• choose scale to represent X meters as Y world units
• get those new units (cartesian & world units) as data fields in the doubly linked list (so we can print GPS coords & draw 3d points using the same data structure)
• draw points in the 3d world
• draw lines between these points
• make camera controls: N for Next, P for Previous
• Text information: average horizontal/vertical speed etc.
• Plane mesh
• Ground texture

Dependencies

These are mainly for building the project, and for Raylib (the 3D graphic library):

sudo apt install libasound2-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev
sudo apt install build-essential git

You will have to compile Raylib, and then copy the archive file into igcp's lib directory:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.git raylib
cd raylib/src/
make PLATFORM=PLATFORM_DESKTOP

cp libraylib.a PATH/TO/igcp/lib/

Compilation & Usage

Now you can compile igcp and use it:

make
./a.out <file>
