it works, the new renderer is bug free! to catch folks up on the experiment, this is a zero polygon renderer which uses a heightmap raycaster similar to comanche. it's a single pass with terrain + n bookended pairs of layered geometry, so you can do overlaps.

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 maybe found a hazeless tuning set i like. it's not 100% but there is something there.

messing with dithering a bit more. i kind of want to try this with stricter color restrictions. i don't think i want to dither the colors though, just the shadows?

ok that's the top to bottom order of operations + all lookups + inlined interpolation for the new renderer! i just added depth test. without further optimizations we are at 15ms, just barely squeaking in to hit 60fps! about twice the performance of the previous renderer.

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!

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, i got drop shadows working for all layers.

This is political satire—not a Jewish control trope—and it lands because Americans recognize it. Some will label it antisemitic to dodge criticism—that’s a way uncomfortable commentary gets shut down. But when something hits SNL stage this hard, it’s tapping into broader popular culture sentiment.🤦🏿‍♂️
