Will DillonDo people just not use PLD or CPLDs anymore? I'm working on a project that they'd be kinda perfect for, but it seems like it's kind of a backwater. And, if people are still using them, what are the best (if there are any at all) open source toolchains?Thanks!

FluxTriangle rasterisation is surprisingly complex. There are multiple approaches and decisions to make on which pixels to include. As part of testing my Earthrise <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FPGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FPGA</a> graphics engine, I've created visual tests to complement more automated testing.
