I assume this is the for your ongoing pixel drawing program. Any reason you dont wanna use shaders?
|

Show me an IoT graphics device that can support shaders and I'd consider it.
There is no hardware acceleration on this thing. Drawing is all point by point or square by square.

Silverlight! hahahaha

I can make a "driver" to bind GFX to some sort of PC drawing surface, like a silverlight canvas (or whatever they have, I've never used silverlight in my life) but it seems pointless.

Could've been straight out of a sci-fi movie!

It's not *that* complicated.
How many channels does an RGB pixel have? The answer is right in the question.

Said the person who wrote it

Four, I guess, counting the alpha

Unless alpha isn't a channel and the answer really is three, it clearly doesn't
And by the way, your original post didn't mention RGB, just "setting the alpha channel"
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." (Revelation 22:13, and also your code)

It was 3 channels, because i didn't name an alpha in the question, but from your response you clearly understand the relationship between channels and pixels, and correctly deduced that an alpha channel would be the fourth channel if it had one.
Now, I didn't expect anyone to understand that much about my initial code without any context. I didn't provide the context because I didn't think understanding the code was exactly relevant, until more than one person decided it was. So here we are.

Is this one of those scams like "Bill Gates is giving $50 to any person who forwards this e-mail"?

No, I think the scam is making you use Bing ...

One thing I hate about Edge is the way it forces Microsoft onto you every time you open a new tab. There is no way to turn off the "Bing experience" when opening a new tab. I set the default search engine to Google, but the new tab page still uses Bing. 
And it shows those "news" headlines at the bottom to bait some clicks. Can't stand it.

I think it works properly now just try to remove from add and remove.

Nope, it's legitimate. MS has been offering premiums to use Bing as a search engine -- earn points and redeem for various things. I get a $5 Amazon gift card every 3 weeks or so.
MS has been advertising the cashback deal for a while, but I haven't looked at it.
