How can I replicate the color limitations of the NES with an HLSL pixel shader? This is not the NES colour palette at all. The NES didn’t use 8-bit RGB, it used a fixed palette of about 50 to 60 colours in the YPbPr space. |

What's the best way of translating a 2D vector into the closest 8-way compass direction? A map with float2 as the key? This doesn’t look very serious. |

What are the main requirements to port a game to Linux About Valve, note that they hired Sam Lantinga, the original author of libSDL. |

Animate part of .3ds object using lib3ds library @Sidar I approved your edit and further removed the signature at the bottom of the post, so it's that second edit that appears. You can still see yours in the history. |

What's the best way of translating a 2D vector into the closest 8-way compass direction? It's perfectly OK to answer your own question. But I would consider not using atan2 to be a bad decision; your code is a lot longer and difficult to understand. It's also... very wrong: where did you get these 0.5 and 2 values? You would probably need sqrt(2)/2 and sqrt(2)+1 instead. |

Using two FBOs results in the second FBO having nothing drawn to Have you tried gDEBugger maybe? |

3D isometric depth sorting The reason no algorithm seems to handle what you are looking for is because there is no such algorithm. It's not possible to Z-sort tiles in the generic case. Even in a situation where there is a solution, it may be hard to find it (look for "topological sort"). The obvious option is to use a Z-buffer. |
