//
// ANIMATION QUEUES
//
// An animation queue is a fifo queue of animation steps.  New animations are
// pushed on the back, and old ones are popped from the front.
//
// An animation step is a set of key-value pairs, where each key is an
// identifier, and each value is either a number, a boolean, an XYZ coordinate,
// or a string.  A key-value pair can be either persistent or nonpersistent.
// So a typical animation step might be:
//
//    action=walk  [nonpersistent]
//    xyz=3,4,5    [persistent]
//    facing=320   [persistent]
//    plane=earth  [persistent]
//
// Persistent values are retained from one animation step to the next,
// nonpersistent values exist for one animation step only.
//
// Each animation step has a hash value.  The hash value is generated
// by mixing the hash value of the previous step with the hash value
// of the encoded string of key-value pairs.
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// SERIALIZED STORAGE
//
// The entired animation queue is stored in a serialized format,
// as a shared string.  This means that the animation queue can be
// passed to the graphics engine as a single string.  This can be
// accomplished by the function EngineWrapper.get_animation_queues.
//
// The fact that the queue is stored in a serialized format means
// that when manipulating the animation queue, we have to decode it,
// manipulate it, and then reencode it.
//
// From an efficiency perspective, this means that manipulation is
// slower, but passing the strings to the graphics engine is faster
// and simpler.  This is a good tradeoff: we manipulate animation
// queues rarely, compared to how often we pass them to the graphics
// engine.
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// THE SERIALIZED REPRESENTATION
//
// So first, you need to know how to serialize a single animation
// step.  Remember, an animation step consists of a list of key-value
// pairs (see above).  The key-value pairs are serialized as follows:
//
//   for all key-value pairs do:
//      write_string(key)
//      write_bool(persistent)
//      write_uint8(type) // T_STRING, T_NUMBER, T_BOOL, or T_XYZ
//      switch type:
//        T_STRING: write_string(value)
//        T_NUMBER: write_double(value)
//        T_BOOL: write_bool(value)
//        T_XYZ: write_xyz(value)
//
// The encoded string produced by the loop above is called an "encstep".
// That's short for "encoded animation step".  The encstep has a hash
// value, which is a function that accepts the encstep and also the hash
// of the previous encstep.  Note that the hash is not part of the encstep.
//
// An animation queue consists of a list of steps. Each step has a hash
// and an encstep.  An animation queue is serialized as follows:
//
//   for all animation steps, starting with the most recent, do:
//      write_uint64(hash)
//      write_string(encstep)
//
// The encoded string produced by the loop above is called an "encqueue",
// because it encodes everything in the animation queue (except for the
// size limit, which is separate).
//
// Since the steps in an encqueue are stored most-recent first, if you
// want some information about the most recent animation entry, you
// don't need to decode the entire encqueue.  You only need to
// decode the first step.
