Trying zig cc to get older glibc dependencies for #picotron but w/ modern compiler improvements, and the generated code is out-performing my old gcc builds by 5%~15% depending on the cart. Ha!

I won't be stingy with any cpu savings ~ they will be passed down to you, the fantasy userland consumer.

Because fill patterns can be defined in the upper bits of a colour parameter, you can get per-face patterns for free
// WIP for #picotron 0.3.1

I can't decide on a farming animal system.

This iteration has the player build the coop with a coop kit, capture the chicken and manually put it in there. No need to feed the chicken, it will find food outside. It kinda feels harsh though.
Any thoughts on it?

// some notes on #picotron 0.3.1 changes that support quad rendering: https://pastebin.com/raw/9MMLsUFb

More surreal rendering tests for #picotron 0.3.1, this time with tline3d textures x colour tables. Notes and gif:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=193908#p

Checking that quad boundaries join up with no holes or overlaps. This one kind of reminds me of a colour plate from an 80s siggraph paper. #picotron

#picotron 0.3.1 quads using batch lerp() to generate poly edges, batch line() to draw them, and the additive colour table from /system/screensavers/dizzy.p64 (1400 polys)

A target mask of 0x3f + fill patterns still gives 6 pixels / cycle, so not much of the cpu work actually happens in the scanline filling stage.

Glowy quads for debugging #picotron, and suddenly a 90s advertisement for B2B IT Solutions appears.

Going over some of the finer points of #picotron accounts. podnet:// folders can only be listed by the owner, and so filenav reacts to that state change after switching accounts. podnet and scoresub() are arriving Monday-ish, along with PUT and POST fetch() requests. Get your 16x16 user icons ready!
