Fractal Auto Tile Engine - The Basics And Current Progress (AAC2020)

Trying to figure out how I can get my image to show up when I google search for "Fractal Auto Tile Engine". Figured I'd just make a blog post here and add an alt tag and see what happens.

The basic idea behind my "fractal auto tile engine" is that the sub-tiles of an auset(auto-tile-set)
are drawn with "hyperpixels" instead of normal "pixels".

A "hyperpixel" can be a "pixel" or it can be a "tile".
When the hyperpixels are "tiles" instead of "pixels" you have a fractal auto tile.

Before we can make fractal auto tiles for our Fractal Auto Tile Engine (AAC2020)
we need to create NON-fractal tiles. The non-fractal tiles are also known as 
"TERMINAL TILES" because they are the last set of tiles you can jump to in
the rendering algorithm before you are unable to zoom any deeper into 
the level geometry.

Currently I've gotten Zoom+Pan working in the FractalAutoTileEngine(AAC2020)
but the ToggleTile function seems to be glitchy.

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......
