the infilling is working, with depth test! now i need to add clipping for the bookended heightmaps.

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.

trying some interesting bitwise color manipulation tricks

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.

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.

with this approach to color, one thing that's a little tricky is haze. here's a first pass. normally i'd have channels stored separately, and i could perform per-channel operations and combine. but as a stylistic decision / self-imposed challenge i'm seeing how feasible it is to do it without.

surprisingly, even with so much of the little sensor ring (is that the potentiometer itself?) missing. the drift seems to be nonexistent. i wonder if it will come back later. looking at it in a calibration tool, there is no evident drift and the flutter it had is gone.
