Implementing a Tiny CPU Rasterizer
Summary
This article documents Part 1 of a hands-on tutorial to build a CPU-based rasterizer from scratch, including setting up a window with SDL2, creating a pixel draw buffer, and clearing/displaying it. It introduces a tiny graphics API with color types and a renderer, and demonstrates measuring FPS with chrono. The piece emphasizes understanding rasterization concepts and provides code sketches for a gradual, education-focused implementation.
