Programming Log 2022 #2: LearnOpenGL Android port WIP
It’s been a while since I posted anything, I have stopped working for a good chunk of the year, but I recently went back at it! Changelog: ported all exisiting LearnOpenGL examples to android (gathering everything under one app), now all code is portable between win32 & android Cmake macros improvement to automatically handle assets…

Summer update 2021: getting rid of dependencies
Photo by Nattu Adnan on Unsplash I have been away from this site for a long time. I was busy buying a house and preparing a wedding, and my motivation took a serious hit. Things are starting to calm down so I will hopefully write more posts from now on. I removed some pages from…

Coding update: I’m terrorized by my own unit-tests
I stopped working on the code for many weeks because I had other things to on my mind, but also because the work I planned was not super exciting. I want to trust my “basic” libraries, math, core and image. They contain relatively simple code that will be the building blocks of the rest of…

Coding update: 2D Text Rendering
Making things a lot simpler I’ve reworked the code for bitmap fonts that I had before. What I had previously was working but in the end was very complicated for no reason. The new font library has the following (limited) features: request any TrueType font installed on the system, with some options (size, italic, bold,…

Coding update – lighting and code removal
Slow progress is still progress These are the things I worked on since last article: Implemented the Lighting tutorials of LearnOpenGL – result visible here Added GLSL file types to code documentation (and added shader files to tutorial documentation) A LOT of code simplification effort to remove all needlessly complex structures and data types remove…

Coding update – tools, improvements and (re)Learn OpenGL
It’s been a while since my last post, I was on holidays and also some of the things below kept me quite busy. Here is a non exhaustive list of what I’ve worked on: cmake scripts: I’ve finally managed to make targets dependent on files that are not source, so if that text or image…

Coding update: new libraries, graphics and input
I’m still coding my way back to where I was before I decided to switch to C instead of C++. I updated the documentation with the new libs (I have to write hundreds of comments though…sigh…). Graphics The graphics library is a wrapper for OpenGL. A lot of functions are not doing much more than…

C Code joy: the image library
I have transferred my C++ image library to C. Fortunately that wasn’t too hard, and I’ve been able to make many improvements along the way. After the porting to C it’s cleaner, way more modular, I love it. Features supported image formats: bitmap (.BMP) JPEG PNG GIF (some cases not handled like interlaced data) supported…

C programming – adding multi-threading
A simple API I have not worked a lot with concurrency in the past, though in my C++ code I made a small multi-threaded job system, that I barely used. This time I wanted to introduce it quite early in the code to maximize chances of using it when applicable. And just to be more…
