+/* How it works:
+ *
+ * 1. Each game's rendering is capured:
+ *    a: call to render_capture_start()
+ *    b: several calls to render_capture_event() to capture all data
+ *    c: call to render_capture_stop()
+ * 2. The captured motion is then interpolated to get smooth motion:
+ *    - new_motion for motion of current/recent capture
+ *    - old_motion for motion of previous capture
+ *    - interpolation for interpolated result
+ * 3. The complete scene is rendered:
+ *    - render_all_items() calls the render_item() for each item
+ *    - The recent capture (NEW) is rendered
+ *    - Interpolation result is taken into account
