My first (pixel-)shader ever

Based on a pixel lightning shader by evolved.
Projects 8 different textures onto an object.
The blending texture map(s) is(/are) seperately scalable. (here scaled by two)
There are two blending textures used, each with rgba.

    That's cool.
    Good for terrain texturing maybe

    That's what I want to use it for.
    ET XYZ v2 maybe...

    If it is too long of an explanation - you don't have to answer it but - what is it a pixel shader used for - and how do you use it. What is the benefit of making one?

    You can control how every single pxel of every single texture gets drawn.
    You can create effects that do whatever you want like that.
    I could easily make the texture on this cube swaying in waves or blinking red...

    What does the shader code look like?

How to monitor a directory for changes with ReadDirectoryChangesW

Here's how to use  ReadDirectoryChangesW  without knowing all of this and without using this overkill C++ class library (remove the &o parameter in the call to make it blocking instead of async. Note: This only returns one change, you have to step trough a buffer of FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATIONs if you need to get more): HANDLE hDirectory ; OVERLAPPED o = { 0 }; union { FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION i ; char d [ sizeof ( FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION )+ MAX_PATH ]; } fni ; int checkAutoCompile () { DWORD b ; if (! hDirectory ) { hDirectory = CreateFile ( "." , FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY | GENERIC_READ , FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE , 0 , OPEN_EXISTING , FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED , 0 ); o . hEvent = CreateEvent ( 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 ); } ReadDirectoryChangesW ( hDirectory , & fni , sizeof ( fni ), TR

Fastest way to zero out memory - stream past cache with movntdq/_mm_stream_si128

As a rule of thumb, this technique is only beneficial if the buffer is larger than half the largest level cache. #include <time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <emmintrin.h> #include <intrin.h> typedef unsigned long long ull ; ull tsc ; int clk ; // Stream 64 Bytes to DRAM, bypass caches. _p must be 16-byte aligned. template < typename T > inline void memstream ( T * _p , const __m128i & i ) { char * p = ( char *) _p ; _mm_stream_si128 (( __m128i *)& p [ 0 ], i ); _mm_stream_si128 (( __m128i *)& p [ 16 ], i ); _mm_stream_si128 (( __m128i *)& p [ 32 ], i ); _mm_stream_si128 (( __m128i *)& p [ 48 ], i ); } inline void serialize () { int a [ 4 ]; __cpuid ( a , 0 );} inline void starttimer () { clk = clock (); serialize (); tsc = __rdtsc ();} inline void stoptimer ( char * n ) { serialize (); ull tsc2 = __rdtsc
