Great writeup! Here is the result of my take on the same process - but translating to JavaScript instead so the simulator runs in the browser.

I later added the high fidelity flight dynamics model by translating C code.

Here is an article that goes through triangle rasterizing in detail, with explainations of subpixel precision - along with animations that show the quality improvement.

Thanks, I had no idea what was meant by sub-pixel, starting from section 6 of your link will explain this and show the smoothed animation.

(By sub-pixel they mean more finely determining the endpoints of the lines on an arbitrary grid finer than the output pixels — NOT physical display sub-pixels.)
