Added a serialization system, and therefore a little save state to my game :p Thanks to Jai magic the API is just : save_data := save(*stuff_to_save); ok := load(save_data, *stuff_to_save);

Proper spacing and newlines (no kerning yet tho)! Next up, rasterization 😨

also please ignore the fact that i wrongly put > 1 in the code and that the pointer is on the wrong variable :p

why would anyone trust them and use their engine if they admit failure of doing hard things like that ? isn't it the whole point that you pay them because they do something hard for you in return ?

ported the Vulkan tutorial I did to D3D12 and now transformed it into a 2D renderer :)

Unity literally announced the "AI makes a game for you" thing as an April fool's joke in 2012 - dunking on the creative bankruptcy of the whole concept - before announcing it with a straight face just the other day.

I mean why bother with all of this? Why even bother with the pretense of art and media? just hook an electrode up to the dopamine center in your brain and keep pressing the button like you're a rat in a fucking skinner machine. Go sit in a dark box hooked up to hoses forever

Fait chier, du coup je gagne quoi à craquer le prochain Final Fantasy sur PC plutôt que d'acheter le Blu-Ray sur PS5 ? L'industrie fait tout pour que les joueurs ne possèdent pas leurs jeux et fait tout pour que ce soit impossible de faire de la préservation

Unfortunately I was not accepted in the two computer graphics masters I registered to :( So I decided to buy The Book™️ and study by myself, hopefully I can learn and get a job to not starve one day

Been working on a physics enigne by following "Game Physics Engine Development" by Ian Millington, not a big fan of the OOP-ness of the code samples, but I am happy to go further than my 2D engine I did a few years ago Also the visualization are very easy to do thanks to the GOAT Raylib :)

My objective is to finish implementing the engine from the book and then start over to remove all the unecessary code and clean up the architecture

And here it is with the base color (and I fixed the parsing of the model) I stop this project here for now, but I learned a lot ! I think I'll try to do a blog post explaining how I implemented it. If you're curious, the code is here : gitlab.com/Stowy/tinyre...

in french we say "aujourd'hui" for today, which is made of "au jour de hui" meaning "in the day of hui" where hui means "in this day" so groupped it means "in the day of this day". The crazy part is that we even started to say "au jour d'aujourd'hui" meaning "in the day of the day of this day" !!!!
