Because writing posts is fun
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,…
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…
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…
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)JPEGPNGGIF (some cases not handled like interlaced data)supported pixel formatsindexed images 1 to…
The GitHub page for the project is now up. Thanks to GitHub pages I can now host the HTML code documentation for my entire C code, which is quite a nice feature. See it here. I have also uploaded a binary version of the generator, with a readme file and an example project. If you…
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…
It works! After weeks spending time on it (& fixing code), I have a working version of the doc generator I am satisfied with. Thanks to my girlfriend, setting up correct HTML/CSS would have been a lot more painful if I had to do it myself. In terms of speed, it's currently taking less than…
Jaysus my titles keep going lamer and lamer... Progress update on the documentation generator I've made a lot of progress on the code documentation tool. I took a lot of inspiration stole from Eskil Steenberg's website gamepipeline.org. On "stealing" things On this subject, whenever I see something cool from another developer online, especially someone with…
Dear lord I suck at making visuals... All this for documentation no one will read... Instead of using an already existing code documentation generator, like Doxygen, I have decided yet again to build my own. For now I want to make sure it parses my C code (and my dear cmake macros too), then generates…
(I obviously don't have a Mac...) Rewriting my code to C is somewhat tedious (especially the math lib...), I'm nowhere near converting every C++ file I have, but of what I got so far I like the end result a lot, and I enjoy the shift I'm seeing in my reasoning ability.Not having to worry…
