Scrolls from the Past: Crash Course in HLSL
Greetings again, good sirs and ladies.
This week, we will have a different kind of scoll to look at. Instead of looking into the archives for scrolls written by other people in times past, I will show you something that I accidentally found in my own archives today.
This was written many moons ago, as a sample for a book that was to be written for a great library together with some other wizards of XNA land. Even though the library keepers liked my writing, their plans for that book changed, and it never got written.
Alas, I decided to not let those scrolls be forgotten, so I blew the dust off of them, made some corrections, and decided to bring them to your attention. In them, I talked about a detailed introduction into the magic of HLSL, and the basic elements needed to understand and use this wonderful kind of magic. You can find it here.
Have a nice reading, and I wholeheartedly hope it helps at least some of my usual readers.

The link at this moment links to Catalin Zima’s “Crash Course in HLSL” article. Is this supposed to be? (That makes this post a double post). Or did you write another HLSL article yourself aswell? If so I’m really interested. The more HLSL resources, the better

I am Catalin Zima
In order to link to the article, I had to actually post that article.
So yes, if you consider an article, and a short explanation + introduction to that article a double post, then yes, you can say this is a double post. I wrote them separately, because one is supposed to be the article, and one is supposed to be the “Scrolls from the Past” entry for this week, introducing the article and giving some small bits about its history.
(P.S. some articles of mine will be mirrored across catalinzima.com and sgtconker.com, because I want to make sure the articles are available if one of the sites goes offline for one reason or another)
