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.

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?

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

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 brigh...

i maybe found a hazeless tuning set i like. it's not 100% but there is something there.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
i thought i would take a stab at just projection for the additional primitives, which resulted in the most baroque graphical glitch
i think the refactored render basically works. this is all the additional geometry layers, minus depth test + span fill. 15ms currently, which is close but i can get it in the zone.
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.
