Neat, didn't know OpenGL Profiler could do shader edit and continue. That is super helpful.

I forgot about separate color/alpha despite bringing it up yesterday... That makes for a lot more permutations. O_o

It's had that since 2006... before iOS existed...

Irrelevant if it's had the feature since before some other random platform/OS existed if I didn't know it had the feature at all.

It would help if I didn't suck at math so much!

Holy cow, I've fallen behind the times. Looks like I might need to brush up on my blending math

So, as a followup - this morning I used OpenGL profiler for examining GL state and found my bug in about 30 seconds.

And guess what? GL_BLEND had been disabled. There aren't enough facepalms for how I feel.

But the good news is I learned how to use GL Profiler's state examination features. And I found a few bugs while completely taking my game apart to figure out what was going on.
