Last month, the team from Realm Pictures built an incredibly clever “interactive real-life first-person shooter” that strangers could play over Chatroulette, Omegle, and Skype. In the behind-the-scenes video, they talk about how they pulled off the feat, and it’s an impressive example of unifying a bunch of different technology to accomplish something novel.| tannerhelland.com
tl;dr: Mobilegeddon (who thinks up these names?) has finally provided the kick I need to get this site overhauled. Apologies in advance for things like messed up formatting and randomly broken links.| tannerhelland.com
I've already talked at length about converting a temperature (in Kelvin) to an RGB triplet. But what if you simply want to adjust an image's temperature, without caring about the specifics of it? This article is for you. As a bonus, source code is also provided for tint adjustments.| tannerhelland.com

The results were surprising enough that I thought them worth sharing...| tannerhelland.com
This is not a full-blown article - just a quick HOWTO for people who require the latest version of zLib and want to use it from a language (like classic VB) that requires a standard WinAPI interface.

Dithering also has applications in web design, where it is a useful technique for reducing images with high color counts to lower color counts, reducing file size (and bandwidth) without harming quality. It also has uses when reducing 48 or 64bpp RAW-format digital photos to 24bpp RGB for editing.| tannerhelland.com
