this sort of thing is honestly such a huge part of why doing game development is so wonderful.

ok it's buggy, but i did mostly get cloud scrolling working. unfortunately, it ends up breaking a lot of my optimizations (up to 25 ms per frame from 17), so i'll have to leave it on the cutting room floor for now.

i got precomputed color working with all the primitives now. everything is green because i don't have per-layer color yet, but it's definitely a mood.

you can get some interesting color variation + banding if you use deliberately-not-right bitwise compositing. things bleed into other channels + it messes with relative brightness.

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!

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

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

i also wanted to at least try doing screen space dithered shadows. i you could finesse this various ways, but this is a good indication of what it might feel like. i like the brightness and cleanliness of it. the light feels good but the volumes suffer, i think.

i liked this intermediate state of the renderer, so i saved off a build.

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.
