Pixel Perfect
Rendering graphics with no antialiasing or interpolation, where every pixel sits exactly on integer boundaries — a discipline and aesthetic choice in demoscene graphics.
A pixel-perfect render respects the pixel grid absolutely: no smoothing, no subpixel blending, just crisp edges. It requires exact rasterization math and careful handling of rounding errors that could shift a line by a fraction of a pixel. Demos running on tight hardware margins could not afford such slips — one misplaced pixel could destroy a carefully tuned visual effect. Pixel-perfect rendering also became an aesthetic: it celebrates the grid and carries a retro honesty that antialiased smoothing sometimes undermines.
