• It's not meant to be curved!

  Posted by Bruce Perry at 2015-06-27 03:47:50

  I pixelled my approximate idea of what all those retro 8x8 fonts should have been. Then I made a shader and did some stuff to make it look all scanliney.

  And then, I tried to flout the laws of physics while simultaneously learning a whole new branch of maths from Wikipedia. Honestly I'm surprised it didn't just explode on me, but I really wasn't going for the old-CRT-style curvature you can see here. I'm categorically perplexed as to how that happened.

  I might sleep now. Haven't quite decided yet.

  • Well I fixed it. Imagine if you didn't normalise a vector, then you assumed it was normalised and accidentally factored its magnitude into something. That's kinda what happened - although as an analogy, it's a bit of a ... stretch. (See what I did there?) – Bruce Perry

  • Cool, the CRT effect is incredible. Or maybe my eyes are so tired that any screen feels like a CRT right now :) – amarillion

  • Hmm. I wasn't going to have the curvature (I currently don't). I may have to add it though. It's like that snakes on a plane line that they added because the Internet would have been disappointed if they hadn't. – Bruce Perry
