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 […]
As you may know I’m not much of a C++ fan, the whole point of source code is it should be human readable and it doesn’t take much to make C++ code look like someone’s sicked up a load of ascii on your code! and besides its much more fun being closer to the metal… […]
Well over the years I’ve evaluated loads of different engines, and often you find things that don’t quite cut the mark on your fist look. The first look with bgfx was with a 6 year old laptop using integrated graphics. Now integrated and graphics in the same sentence is no longer the horror it used […]
Every time I copy something from an exfat formatted USB stick, I keep on having to search for this simple one liner… As exfat doesn’t allow for permissions, when you copy directories back onto your hard drive, in order that the directory structure will work as intended, all the files are given executable permissions. Directories […]
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 […]
Whenever I want to start a new project with Raylib I used to start from a simple template, which I’ve now dusted off revamped and added a second version with the addition of Nuklear to provide a GUI, I simply do a quick And I’m ready to start on my next mad idea adventure! The […]
Sometimes even the best of us end up scratching our heads trying to work out why a complex chain of matrices isn’t being applied as we expected, and for the novice to computer graphics getting an intuitive grasp of how matrix multiplications chain together can be rather difficult. So I built a tool to allow […]
Raylib uses, in part a library called GLFW, its a great way to help isolate your application from the vagaries of cross platform development, and adds a nice suite of functions to do tiresome things like creating a GL context (and much more besides). One nice feature is you can sync screen swaps to the […]
