Resolution-Independent Rendering | Handmade Hero Episode Guide

1:36Recap where we're at

3:13Take a closer look at that perspective projection

5:42Blackboard: The components of the perspective equation

8:21Determine the size of our monitor

12:12Think about MetersToPixels and resolution independence

14:07Encode our hotspots as being proportional to the size of the bitmaps

18:48Get rid of MetersToPixels from the encode call

19:44Blackboard: We are going to specify sizes in meters

21:16Introduce WidthOverHeight and specify our expected sizes

23:35Whenever we do that read... right...^α

24:32Do this without any values in the pipeline

32:42Blackboard: Unit cube^β

38:05Finally do that MetersToPixels projection

40:50Check it out in-game^γ

41:13Debug it

42:01Check it out and make PushBitmap start specifying the size that it thinks things should be

47:06Take a look at the bitmaps in GIMP^δ

47:40Synthetically scale up the HeroBitmaps

48:56Check it out and tweak the camera values

51:36Clean this stuff up

56:20Base MetersToPixels off the ScreenDim.x

59:07Demonstrate this resolution-independence
