floats are fine until not
eg. not in rasterization loop
my version uses a z-buffer only for sprites, main geometry is write-only (as in software quake)

and suggest to generate outline as a precomputation step
read bsp geometry - mark edges of faces that are not coplanar and form a hard edge with neighboring faces
the quake bsp format contains all the info needed

are you aware of the built-in profiler that comes with the sdk?

#pico8 experiment of the weekend, ported: towardsdatascience.com/a-quick-and-... (credits Mole5000 for link!)
was interesting to bang my head against Python slicing semantic 😱
