I genuinly don't know. I seem to find it difficult to learn a part of coding that I wasn't interested in as a teenager. For example, I struggle with structs and anything object based simply becuase I haven't learned it already. I think I'm *snip*

it helps with reading, but because my pixels are huge, rect is faster fro drawing.

SCREENWIDTH is 1920 in this case, so SCREENWIDTH / pixelScale is 320

Paperwork, any kind. I have trouble answering questions even when I'm 100% confident of the answer, so having to do that sort of thing in a formal setting literally hurts my mind.

Because my method involves upscaling by hand, using writepixelfast turns out to be slower (more loops), so my method is good enough for my use case.
