I've never really understood the draw of CRT shaders... well, until I made one!

Here's a high-res screenshot of the game that got me hooked. I rendered at 🔍8x zoom to hopefully let the details come out. Ah, I've such fond memories of the gb/gbc!

LCD shaders > CRT shaders 😾

Yeah, I get what you're saying. But that perceived waste has to be weighed up against the complexity cost of the solutions that you're exploring. It's really difficult thinking vs. just making stuff work.

Mack @macksaur.bsky.social · Aug 14

If you can make the trade-offs with round trip time and inefficient compression, I love this stuff. But it's a local minimum of sorts that I don't know shakes out for anything other than having fun writing cleaner code. It's hard to say it's good general principles in every case.

Why do you think I love LINQ so much? Every time I use C# I experiment with keeping large parts of the API as lazy abstractions that downstream can remix as required.

I’m working on an indoor map.
After learning a bit about 2D lighting and placing some lights, the atmosphere changed dramatically.
I’m really like it. 😊
