I've written a number of articles for [[Game Developer Magazine]] over the
years, and this is the place where you'll find the ones that don't get
their own page.

All of these articles are in [http://www.adobe.com/acrobat PDF] format, for better or for worse.

===Perspective Texture Mapping===

This is my epic perspective texture mapping series. I guess it's a
bit out of date now that 3D hardware is everywhere, but I think the
discrete math in the articles is still very interesting, and I'm still
a stickler for fill conventions and resampling rules. I still don't
know of any hardware that does their fill conventions exactly right,
especially given the extra information in the gradients.txt file in
the sample code, and the fact that there's a bug even in that analysis
having to do with exact perspective gradients (hint: a perspective
warp can change the rounding modifier inside the triangle).

===Compilers===

These two articles aren't really reviews, even though I discuss the
results of using a number of different Macintosh and PC compilers. In
reality, they're tutorials on how compilers [fail to] optimize your
code, and what you can do about it.

===Memory Bandwidth===

This article discusses how the access pattern your application uses
can have a decided affect on its performance.

===Floating Point===

To cover some of the wacky floating point tricks the perspective
texture mapping articles use, I needed to discuss the floating
point unit in some detail.

* [[Media:gdmtblt.pdf | Changing The Rules For Transparent BLTs]] - Feb 95<br>This was the first article for my column.
