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…

Do you C?
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…

Back after a break
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,…

Progress on the tier list app
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…

A tier list maker
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…

Getting more Fonts!
All hail the bitmap I added bitmap fonts earlier to handle writing text in the framework.I’ve used the great CBFG by Codehead, to generate the font data I wanted (.BMP + CSV data).I made a small executable to bundle the font image and the data into one .bitmapfont file (compressed using zlib). The framework was…
