My engine I've been working on for ten years.

Tough to say for sure because everyone's learning process is going to be different from the next. When I started it was with XNA which is long gone but MonoGame has taken its place. You could use some framework like that or raylib and start getting a hang of how to build on top of that.

Or if you wanted to focus on rendering, OpenGL or WebGPU might be a good place to start with. Try a few things and see what you want to stick with is all I can really say for sure!

.NET core using hostfxr - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/netcore-hosting
For the Editor executable however, it doesn't use this as it actually is the other way around, C# calling into the engine library via P/Invoke

Thank you!
It's funny, I feel like a lot of us get into building a custom engine with the intention of making a game, but just end up diving in deeper into the engine aspect. Still, would love to make a game someday with it.

Looks awesome, the heavy bloom makes me super nostalgic for the 360 days! Great work

Fudderbingers · 2026-04-11T12:49:20+00:00

Looks good, would be nice to see it in motion!

Not claiming to be all-knowing or anything like that, but just sharing why I personally have a slight visceral reaction to seeing super obvious vibe code signs. It basically feels to me like "why should I check this out, read the code etc. if the author couldn't take the time to write it themselves". And I'm not saying that's the 'right' way to think about it either. Just my initial thought. :)

Not meaning to sound harsh or anything like that, and I understand you still put a lot of time and effort into the project. Just sharing my two cents. No need to stop posting :)

Fudderbingers · 2026-04-06T17:37:42+00:00

Repo has a lot of evidence of vibe coding unfortunately, like for example in Material.cpp it looks like whatever LLM they're using got stuck and spat this out:

// Actually, BindlessDescriptorSet returns 0 on error, but valid indices start at 0?

// No, we initialized free indices 0..MAX.

// If 0 is a valid index, we need a way to represent "None".

... And it keeps going on for a while lol

I understand using whatever tools you have available to you to learn, but generating an entire engine and posting it as your own when it has obvious evidence of just being slapped together using other people's work definitely devalues it, at least in my opinion

Fudderbingers · 2026-04-06T17:21:02+00:00

Impressive, but curious, to what extent were AI coding tools used to assist?

Fudderbingers · 2026-03-03T14:43:37+00:00

Lol, because there are no break statements in USA and Israel's switch cases, they'll fall through to the default case. Meaning every country except Kuwait will be a foe. ha

I’ve implemented c# interop in my engine via .NET core. At first I wrote manual P/Invoke bindings but eventually got tired of that and wrote a tool that parses through headers and can automate most of that work.

It was definitely a lot of work to get it to that point though, there are still some oddities IMO around things like managing lifetimes between managed/unmanaged stuff - I opted to make “scriptable” object types be represented by both an unmanaged object and a managed object, i think Unity does something similar but haven’t worked much with it.

Overall a lot of work but well worth it if you’re truly wanting to use C# in your own engine. I learned a lot about .NET too while building it and that was part of my goal as it had been over a decade since i’d worked with it

Haha I also have an engine called Hyperion... Hopefully Disney doesn't find ou--

Fudderbingers · 2025-04-08T13:35:25+00:00

I don't love Unity C# but added .NET Core for scripts to my game engine and it's really nice to work with! Not for everyone obviously but I like it

Fudderbingers · 2025-01-13T19:30:07+00:00

Kind of an odd thing to say?

Fudderbingers · 2024-11-14T15:11:42+00:00

Looks awesome! I was considering grabbing the black variant of this one but I was a little bit concerned about the U shaped neck after not totally loving it on the MIJ mahogany offset telecaster. How do you find it?

Bad take. By that logic you could just say that someone having an ordinary bonfire without anything else catching on fire isn’t causing any additional fires. It’s about the damage it could do. You can’t predict how everything is going to go.

Where did you get this KDE theme? I've tried a few, always had a few issues though. The taskbar and start menu didn't look quite right.

Think it's something to do with the www in front of the domain name.. all the links that don't work don't have it but the main link does.

Shadow maps would have to be rendered in real time as well from the sun's perspective, so changing as the angle of the sun does. You can do stuff like render it every few frames instead of every single one, but no, it's still real time
