Why conversion is more than multiplying

Crosshairs are drawn one line at a time: outline first, crosshair color on top, later draws cover earlier ones. Change any pixel value by 1 and the final shape can differ. Below is the game's draw order, replayed step by step.

Thick blue lines mark screen center, between two pixels: adjacent pixels are −1 and +1, no 0.

Calibrated against 38 in-game 1:1 screenshots across four rounds, checked pixel by pixel. Firing error pushes lines outward with weapon spread; this animation shows only static geometry.
