Because writing posts is fun
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…
The confinement has taken its toll on me. I'm dropping C++ in favor of C. I wonder if the the virus got to my brain instead of my lungs? A week ago I decided to port all my C++ code to C. I still like C++ it a lot, I'm using it all the time…
News from the confinement area (a.k.a my living room...) It's a crazy time, and I haven't been productive at all these last few weeks. But I'm slowly adapting to the situation and I am motivated to work on some things again. Implementing the GIF format was a painful process, it took a while and I…
My next order of focus is something that will be extra beneficial and fun for the engine, supporting the GIF format! Yay \o/ I could very well take an existing library, but I don't like the idea of pulling another dependency.I'd rather have my own bit of code that doesn't require maintenance, checking versions, integration,…
Kicking off 2020 with a cheerful update on the framework A nice PNG image converted to different pixel formats. Pixels, Pixels everywhere… Happy new year! After a rather unproductive Christmas break, I continued with improving my Image library. I actually rewrote it completely to make the transition easier. Eons ago, when I wanted images, I…
Report of progress of the last few weeks. It's getting there. Slowly but surely It took a while to get here! A lot of GUI code improvements later, the app now allows total customization of the list. Text parameters, colors, objects sizes etc. Also it's able to save the list as a text file, and…
Talking about the recent improvement to the C++ framework and the tier list maker. The infinity backlog Building a functioning app (even a very modest one) allows me to make a lot of bug fixing and general improvements to the framework. The gui code has benefited a lot from that work, with new controls type…
I love making tier-lists, It's a form a grading stuff that's simple and very visual. GUI GUI GUI I very briefly searched online tools to make one. I found a couple that weren't great in terms of features and output. I just stopped there and didn't think about it more. But now that I'm in…
Writing the same thing in 200 different ways It feels good to get something working! As I explained in the previous post, I was seriously lacking bitmap fonts in the framework. I modified Codehead's BitmapFont Generator's code, adding a new menu item to export all available fonts in a format that my framework can use.…
