DAY 009:_PutImage

Back to the

_SMOOTH

topic.

That algorithm is fine for photographic elements but it looks bad (IMO) for pixel art.

However! There are anti-aliasing (I think they might be called shaders) algorithms we could also implement into QB64PE - (well you smart people could).

It would be awesome to have these as options alternatively to

_SMOOTH

Anyway, if you wanted to try to implement this stuff I would be grateful!

I love the xBRZ algo. First saw it in action in GZDoom. However, I do not think these algos can be used in real-time unless it is implemented as GPU shaders. GZDoom uses it during the asset loading stage. Which means the textures are pre-processed before any kind of rendering happens.

Does _PUTIMAGE _SMOOTH do it in advance too? Would imagine yes, like pre-processing?
