Sol's Graphics Tutorial

Sol writes on Pouet:

About a couple decades back I wrote a graphics/game programming tutorial based on SDL 1.2. It used to be a major driver of traffic to my site, so one or two of you may have come across it.

Time has passed and because of the old SDL (and old compiler suites) the tutorial has been more or less obsolete.

I've started to revamp it - not completely rewrite, as it still uses much of the old material (as basics don't really change). I'm basing it on SDL3, so it should be relevant for a while again. Well, as relevant as plotting pixels goes.

As of this writing the first 10 chapters are here: solhsa.com/gp2/index.html

Mesh Voxelizer in C#

Author: Adok A mesh voxelizer is an algorithm that converts arbitrary three-dimensional objects, usually specified as polygons, into voxels (vector objects), that is a collection of small rectangular objects. Such an algorithm is sometimes needed for processing and visualizing 3D objects. Some theoretical background on how a mesh voxelizer works is provided by the paper "An Accurate Method for Voxelizing Polygon Meshes" . In this article I would like to present you my solution in C#. My solution uses a simple data structure called Vert that can be defined as:     public class Vert     {         public double x, y, z;     } Moreover, it uses Verts, which is a list of elements of the Vert data type: using Verts = System.Collections.Generic.List<Vert>; The core of the mesh voxelizer is the following method:         public bool IsVoxelOnFace(double[] vc, double L, double Lx, double Ly, double Lz)         {             if (this.Verts.Count < 3) return false;
