Nannou model requires a function pointer: How to return a function pointer

+1
−1

Trying to make a nannou app from the template but with a customizable model() function.

The template has this main():

fn main() {
     nannou::app(model).update(update).run();
}

The model that goes intot the app() is a function that returns a Model. My Model struct is very simple:

struct Model {
    color: Hsl,
    max_time: u32,
    counter: u32,
}

The model function simply returns a Model struct. But instead of hard coding the parameters in a model() function I want a model_function_creator() that takes max_timeand a color_tuple, captures them and returns a model function that is parameterized.

I tried something like this:

fn model_function_creator(max_time: u32, color_tuple: (f32, f32, f32)) -> fn(&App) -> Model {
    Box::new(move |_app: &App| Model {
        color: hsl(color.0, color.1, color.2),
        max_time: max_time,
        counter: 0,
    })
}

So that in main(), I can call the model_function_creator with custom parameters like this:

fn main() {
    let max_time = 100;
    let color = (0.3, 0.5, 0.5);

    nannou::app(model_function_creator(max_time, color))
        .update(update)
        .simple_window(view)
        .run();
}

But I get the following error messages:

expected `for<'r> fn(&'r nannou::App) -> Model` because of return type

and

expected fn pointer, found struct `Box`

How do I return a fn pointer from a function and still have it capture the two parameter I pass to it.
