Fractal Auto Tile Game Engine

 Auto tiles, also known as rule tiles, are pretty awesome.
They speed up the game developement level design process at LEAST by a factor of 16x
without ANY loss in quality of the final product.

I am working on an engine that I hope will speed up the CREATION of auto tiles by 16x.
I am obsessing over "data leverage". The idea that, if we use our information/data wisely
we can speed up BOTH __HUMAN__ productivity and __COMPUTER_PROCESSOR__
productivity.

I am done ranting. Here is the imgur post:

0x400000

 0x400000 : The nearest power of 2 (rounded down) when taking the max value of a signed 32 bit integer and dividing it by 256.      ROUND_DOWN_TO_NEAREST_POWER_OF_2(  I32_MAX_VALUE / 256 )  Why? Working on rendering algorithm where I want to do floating point math using discrete units. In order for this to work, I need to upscale all of my 1x1 pixel tiles into larger grids. Since I have a grid of 256x256 "pixel sized tiles" on my "canvas user view" (cuvipix), I can get away with scaling up each pixel by a factor of 0x400000 before I start doing my math. I choose to use the max value of SIGNED integer rather than unsigned because everything is eventually getting converted to 32 bit float. And since floats can go negative, trying to partition the max value of a SIGNED int may result in TOO MUCH addressing space. We don't want to lose precision when we convert of discrete integer fractions into floating point if we can help it. Hmm... Now that I think of it......
