mmozeiko, I think it's not the case. I am only drawing WeirdGradient right now. It's instantaneous…
On modern Windows you don't need to worry about endianess at all. It is always little endian :) An…
Hey guys! Somewhere around Day 25 of HMH Casey was using win32-defined union called LARGE_INTEGER …
It could be that you simply can not get 16.6 msec with current bitmap drawing code - it is terribl…

I'm torn... Another possibility is that instead of storing world coordinates as int+float, we can …
We already implemented that - that is what the looped live code editing does.Casey
The reason is because I am not a game designer, so I don't want to bring game design into the proj…
