The frame glides from waypoint to waypoint and drops a screenshot of
itself every frame-width or so. The stills stay where they were taken
and fade over a few seconds, so the live video reads as the head of a
comet whose tail is its own recent past.
The steering caps how fast the heading may change: an instant turn would
lay the stills out in straight dotted lines, and it is the curve that
makes a tail read as one. Drops are spaced by distance travelled rather
than by a timer, so they stay even however the frame is turning.
Since the capture is a crop of the tab, a still lying under the frame
would be photographed into the next one. A drop waits until the frame is
clear of the tail, keeping the invariant corners already relies on.
Also picks up the FRAME_SCALE, BOUNCE_SPEED and CORNER_INTERVAL_SECONDS
tuning sitting in the tree.
