Make project compile again

[JTriggerFish]

The project seemed to be based on an old version of nim, I've tried to upgrade to a more modern setup with using nimble instead of make, fixing the imports, a few explicit conversions between float and int, and a couple of issues with capturing references in closures.

There are some issues left however:

• Some of the tests at launch fail, unclear why, see listing below
• The menus do not work properly, the wrong item gets selected
• I haven't been able to try making a sound yet.

I'm quite interested in contributing further to this project, I hope this PR revives it a bit :)

Here is the test output when launching main.exe:

Thanks for this PR. Hoping that ftsf accepts it, and the project can be revived

[ftsf]

Thanks for all that! I actually have a mostly working updated version and external Nico, but I keep forgetting to push it up, so I've done that now. Sorry you had to waste your time with this, I suspect it'll heavily conflict with your work, but it compiles and runs now, though there are likely many little issues with machines that need fixing.

Unfortunately I'm very rarely working on this project anymore since I've been busy making music instead of coding.

Thanks for that ! Great, I will close this PR then. And yes I know what you mean about the eternal conflict between making music and making tools for music :)
