Bugs

in order to be able to "#include <fov/fov.h>" and compile as a c program rather then a c++ one, you need to add the following lines before including fov.h:

#define bool int 
#include <math.h>

For instance:

#define bool int 
#include <math.h>
#include <fov/fov.h>

int
main(){
    /*do stuff*/
    return 0;
}
