...c idea of this algorithm is to use a pre-processing step to find all edges and then select the correct smoothing tile according to the shape of the edge. The first step would be to find all edges. In the example below the edge tiles marked with an X are all green tiles with a tan tile as one or mor...

... ~35% faster than your 6bits+Carmack+sqrt code, at least with my CPU (x86) and programming language (C/C++). Your results may vary, especially because I don't know how the Java factor will play out. My approach is threefold: First, filter out obvious answers. This includes negative numbers and ...

...e, lines, etc, whatever came to his mind). Then he started to draw circles and then he asked me to make it "good circle" (from my understanding: make the drawn circle perfectly round, as we know no matter how stable we try to draw something with our finger on the screen, a circle is never really as...

...g easily antialiased, which is trivial using a distance-map-textured quad, and evaluating curves in the shader is still computationally much more expensive than necessary. The best trade-off between "fast" and "quality" are still textured quads with a signed distance field texture. It is very sligh...

...t is the correct (most efficient) way to define the main() function in C and C++ — int main() or void main() — and why? And how about the arguments? If int main() then return 1 or return 0 ? ...

I'm currently using scale_brewer() for fill and these look beautiful in color (on screen and via color printer) but print relatively uniformly as greys when using a black and white printer. I searched the online ggplot2 documentation but didn't see anything about adding textures to fill colors. ...

In other words, it is the closest subject outside computer science to what we call programming language semantics. The philosopher Willard Quine was responsible fo...
