How to enjoy programming again

Ok, this is pretty cool, Doom in Ghostty via Kitty Graphics Protocol as mixed Zig/C project (and it even has sound, can't record that on Mac though): github.com/cryptocode/ter…

Tiny Emulator's 15 minutes of fame (bottom right screenshot) ;) (did some nice UI updates over the Christmas break, ported to the Dear ImGui docking branch, and the UI layout is now persisted between sessions) floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/

AMD D3D11 driver question: Is anybody aware of Radeon RX 7700S drivers mis-reporting pixel format capabilities in D3D11 (specifically MSAA-renderable)? (e.g. see: github.com/floooh/sokol/i…) Or, is there an uptodate 'capability database' somewhere to lookup stuff like this?

Hot take: retained-mode was a premature optimization. We built Membrane using rust and egui and never looked back. When our IDE was react-based we had to worry about reflows and re-renders. With immediate-mode every frame is a re-render! But it only takes 900us

Modern C++ is such a mess that it requires 'notes' next to 'warnings' and 'errors' lol note: parameter passing for argument of type ‘tint::Number<tint::detail::NumberKindF16>’ when C++17 is enabled changed to match C++14 in GCC 10.1

Not bad for a "mobile CPU" (new Github linux-arm64 runners).

I extracted my little sprite renderer I wrote some time ago into an example repo. It's written in The Odin Language using Andre Weissflog's sokol headers: it renders sprites to an 320x180 offscreen and scales it up to match the display. It was a fun introduction gfx programming! Link ⤵️

PSA: I just merged a minor but potentially breaking change in the sokol_gfx.h GL backend (only breaking if you use storage buffers on the fragment stage via sokol-shdc, so *very* obscure): github.com/floooh/sokol/b…

Surprised that the new idiot in charge didn't sign an Executive Order forcing Github to rename the default branch to 'master' lol.

Here’s your occasional reminder to sponsor the free projects you use! Or perhaps just generally vibe with! Here is our page #defold #indiegamedev #gamedev defold.com/donate/

I am always bemused by programmers that don’t use debuggers. It isn’t just about breakpoints and examining variables, but also being able to break into a process that has been running for an hour and issue something like:

Eh ok, I'm finally done with Twitter. Fuck Elon Musk. For sokol announcements find me on Bluesky or Mastodon: @[email protected] bsky.app/profile/flohof…
