For manual visualization of live music
This program allows the user to create trippy/psychedlic visuals that go along with music either playing out of a speaker, or being performed live.
This was created out of the need for an open-source VJ (Visual Jockey) program as the current market only contains niche products, or hyper expensive multi-faceted ones.
GOALS:
To create a VJ program the is efficient, easy to use, and super customizable.

CONTROLS:
Controls are mapped via the file "keys.txt" in the following format
Regular Key:
[KEYCODE] [TYPE] [SUB_TYPE] [DIRECTION_TYPE]
ex) 65 0 0 -1 ------> Key: "a" -> ADD CONTEXT -> LINE -> N/A
Multi-Key:
[KEYCODE] [# OF SETTINGS] [TYPE] [SUB_TYPE] [DIRECTION_TYPE] ...
ex)-61440 2 2 -1 0 2 -2 0 ------> Key: "F13" -> 2 SETTINGS ->
1st: SET SETTING -> CHANGE ANGLE -> SET @0
2nd: SET SETTING -> CHANGE SCALE -> SET @0
Keycode corresponds to the output of KeyEvent.getKeyCode();

LINKS:
Links are how drawing modes are connected together.
Drawing Modes (any class the extends the abstract class PaintMode) is stored into an array of
The index of the Mode within the array corresponds to an integer that represents the linked Mode
Negative Link numbers tell MELTr to use the linked Mode BEFORE the selected
Positive Numbers tell MELTr to use the linked mode AFTER the selected
If the number of the link is the same as the index within the array, only the selected is used
