Oh, I simply meant that I'm not smart enough to think into the future several years out and design ahead. That was luck, is what I'm saying.

I mean this next statement as a compliment, not a dig.
I think you are confusing "engineering" with "overengineering". "Overengineering" would have been adding n-dimensional planes to cover you when holographic (and imagined 4+D graphics were in vogue).
Seems you like you made a sound design decision that may have felt too liberal because perhaps you had seen one too many poorly designed graphics implementations. Probably why you went to the trouble of writing your own to begin with.
Been a long time since I looked at DirectX, but typically Windows (and quite a few other platforms) use a RGBA model where often you see 8 bits for each (the 'A' is an Alpha channel which is an opacity value). Color models are like opinions ... everyone has one
I haven't looked at your library, but from your example you might be able to use variadic templates to make your 'pixel' definition a bit easier. Or perhaps that would just put you on the path to true overengineering
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
DL

I hate to do the "Cat video" thing, but technology is involved, and Robot Vacuum Pushes Cat Under Couch[^]
That's one patient cat - Dij would never have put up with such insolence!

That's because AI knows better... The robot learned that that part of the house is a floor and must be cleand!

Ok. That was cute, even though it was about cats.

The paradox exists becasue we are part of the problem and believe to be part of the solution...

I thought you didn't do Twatter.
This fact may, or may not, have something to do with the Fermi paradox.

I don't. But I do know deluded fools who do.

I guess that depends on the meaning of "do"
For example, I do not have an active twitter account. However, tweets find me through other avenues online, even on codeproject, as above. Sometimes I'll share them if they're funny or otherwise amusing. I can't log on to the platform formerly known as X and I have no intention of changing that. Perhaps that's the case with Griff.

Pretty much the same - I don't have a Twatter / Echh account and never have but twaats find their way too me sometimes.

I will lean on the side that all life seeks self survival, and so large collections are difficult to maintained. Selfishness limits a upper limit.

Yeah, they do go hand in hand though. Echo chambers of stupid stoke the flames of greed.

The reason why we don't see intelligent life forms is that they saw us first....

The main reason for the Fermi Paradox is that scientists claiming that there is a paradox simply aren't paying attention.

Why would any intelligent, advanced civilization want to contact us? They don't need to be sanctioned by the US...
