Todo:

1. grid.rs
   • Remove need for deposit/deposit_all
     • Possible solution: Make it so when data is called, it generates it in a function when needed
2. Add check to make sure that img_data_vec isn't over a set size in ram, if so, render it and flush to disk
3. Auto create gif instead of doing that after the fact manually with imagemagick
4. GPU compute
   • Tried ArrayFire-rust didn't work well, looking for another library
   • Try using emu (seems to be a very good option)
   • Another option: wgpu-rs
   • Look at this for inspiration
5. Auto create a video from generated images
   • Instead of using the command ffmpeg -r 20 -i tmp/out_%d.png -vcodec libx265 -crf 25 -s 512x512 test.mp4 maybe use a rust library to do the same (more research needed)
6. Live output
   • Might want to do after #5 and #3
7. Add config and cmd arguments when running the binary to adjust simulation settings7.
8. sin and cos optimizations
   • sin/cos table
     • precompute before simulation
   • Cache sin/cos values in hashmap to be recalled later
     • In order to peruse this route, I have to figure out how to access a hashmap in parallel
