The fact that HTTP is a stateless protocol can cause a number of problems for anyone creating a web application. One common technique when viewing data is known as CRUD, this is simply Create Read Update and Delete. Imagine you have a system that allows you to edit and update invoices, when viewing the details […]

While many people favour an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) there are a few reasons you might prefer using a simple editor and terminal, to say the least less hunting through a GUI hierarchy for the functionality you want, and a better understanding of the development environment. C Sharp uses what it calls “assemblies” to provide […]
As you are no doubt aware, a mouse is a powerful and very useful input device, even on my TV box I use a mouse (where you can even use a virtual keyboard with the mouse if needed), but spare a though for a moment for those of us that for whatever reason can’t easily […]
I’m gradually going through my older code, updating projects I think merit some love. A year ago now I implemented a simple maze generation algorithm, the algorithms aim is to completely cover the area of the maze and the maze should have no isolated areas, you can get from any location in the maze to […]
Often its easy to assume a computer controlled agent is working under some highly complex and “intelligent” rules. However as boids shows us that need not be the case. In the video despite a twisty complex path to follow and more cars than their should be in a small space, all the cars don’t end […]
One thing for sure is that correctly configuring a vehicle in a dynamics system, is more akin to a “black art” than a straight forward programming problem. There are multiple interconnected things to consider, for example friction side slip and suspension all interact to modify your vehicles behaviour, but are also effected by for example […]
Well this one should be easy ? Right ? obviously as C is pass by value if you’re passing a few pointers, they are smaller than passing 32 floats (2 Matrix structs). Well initially a quick trip onto godbolt and you can easily convince yourself its an open and shut case… looking at how a […]
First a quick word about “breakages” – I have to say the author of Raylib is a very careful coder (thankfully!) and ever since starting to use Raylib I’ve been able to track and use the master branch of Raylib on github, this does expose you to the occasional breakage, or usually more accurately a […]
When I began developing my Matrix Chain Sandbox app, I always had it in mind to do (at least one) tutorial using this tool as a teaching aid. Well my aim grew just a little higher after releasing my Old School 2 intro, I was inspired by the logo idea and I wasn’t surprised it […]
UPDATE: I’m happy to say that this post is redundant ! I submitted a Pull Request to the Raylib repository which has been accepted, have a look at the example raylib/examples/textures/textures_poly.c, with a slightly different name, this functionality is now a part of Raylib. As a bit of light relief from debugging some horrible memory […]
