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…
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…
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,…
