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; }
