i am adding cloud movement, and i ran into a rather amazing glitch

i am refactoring to use precomputed colors. i'm not sure exactly how haze will work yet, but i think there's a pretty significant speed boost from this.

ok that's interesting. you potentially get some compelling chromatic effects when you do "dirty" initial colors and do shadows by randomly dropping out individual bits.

i'm working out all the contextually specific behavior now. it's going to work with mixed heights, too. here's a high building (with the new special case bridge handling) connected to a low building.

ok this is promising- with shadows (not rendering) for everything, it's at 10ms. but that's only with inlined point samples, not interpolation. if i turn on interpolation w/ a function, it's 23ms or so. i'm going go try inlining.

there we go, the special cases for tall buildings are working for all permutations. they get quite thin and lacy when enough bridges connect to one building!

yeah i find i am putting a lot of thought into hovering /just/ on the edge of ambiguity. do shadows eat information, how crisp are the edges, is that a house etc. here are some color things i'm messing with for you! this is randomized shadow masks.

if your color is "dirtier", eg more of the bits have 1s in them, then bitwise tricks like this work better. this is fainter than i want, but see this is darkening more of the colors now.

i'm trying out some expressive bitwise tricks for lighting which may end up doing interesting expressive things with hue. the glitches are fun.

i think maybe if i find the right magic value, i can do shadows by bitmasking?

Anthony Scaramucci: “If Obama acted the way Trump is acting, Fox News hosts would be calling for his impeachment. This guy is falling asleep in the Oval Office. He spent $8.2T in his first term, and he’s going to rack up $9-10T at the pace he’s on now.”
