Thanks to this amazing example, I easily found why I broke everything when tried to use depthstencil buffer. I especially love that there's no stupid OOP cruft in it, so I can read and learn what's going on.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart after revisiting the subject in the context of a recent d3d11 example implementation, i went back and simplified that original shadertoy (both in terms of tangential clutter and the algorithm itself) shadertoy.com/view/MlB3D3

the "prompt engineers" that proudly post ai images as if they somehow created them and happily take credit for the amazing work should instead start posting their prompts - without the generated image. just so it's clearer to people what their contribution actually is.

I mentioned in a previous tweet how it's so difficult to find a fat-free tutorial on how to get something done with an API without all the scaffoldings imposed through the irrelevant and arbitrary abstraction decisions of the author. Well I'd like to mention an example of the

All API tutorials should be written like this.

Check out the ARC Starter Kit running in d7samurai's D3D11 example. ARC ships with ready to use renderer backends which is perfect for when you want to quickly add ARC to a project without writing a renderer and or using it as a solid starting point. ARC also ships with a

I agree! My open source project github.com/alektron/Chunk… is effectively just d7samurai's D3D11 example with some game logic bolted on. It's just that good. Especially if you already come from e.g. an OpenGL background.
