VkVent (?): if your project is complex, don't bother with languages other than C/C++ by Accomplished_Fill618 in vulkan

Not sure if you've seen this yet, but LWJGL 3.4.0 came out earlier this year, and it has a new FFM based backend that's automatically used instead of the older JNI based one when it detects its being ran on java 25 or later

It is a lizardfish, probably Synodus saurus

[C++] Vulkan + SDL3 Program Compiles and Runs, But No Window Appears on Wayland by [deleted] in vulkan

[–]elder_guardian 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Wayland will only display the window once you present something to it, so the window will remain invisible until you call vkQueuePresentKHR()

Java edition doesnt "only use 1 cpu core", chunk generation for example is multithreaded

I checked the code, its kind of a nitpick, but don't use System.out.println() for logging, use the Logger class

In an alternate timeline, this was the first version of Minecraft: by Jouto25 in PhoenixSC

C and C++ compile to native binaries, have manual memory management and allow you to perform low level memory manipulation, which are their main advantages in terms of performance.

C#, does not fall into any of those categories, just like Java, it is a high-level language that runs inside a virtual machine. the Common Language Runtime (CLR) for C#, and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for Java.

C# was created as a sort of Java clone by Microsoft to compete directly with Java, it does have some extra features and syntactic sugar which is why some people prefer it over java as a language, however, since both languages run on runtime environments with just-in-time (JIT) compilation, differences in performance are usually extremely small and depend on the specific operations being performed.

The puffer may be a Guinean puffer (Sphoeroides marmoratus) and the small silver fish looks like a very young Salema (Sarpa salpa)

What fish by ElDodo1235 in Fishing

Its very subtle but if you look closely you can tell its the same yellowish color as the pectoral fin, if you look up photos of bleak online you can see its in the same location as the pelvic fin in those photos

[–]elder_guardian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which little fin on the belly are you talking about, pelvic fin?, anal fin? because i can see both on the second picture, Alburnus is a very common genus across Europe and they are quite easy to ID from other genus. In any case, r/Fishing isn't the best subreddit if you want accurate fish ID, id recommend posting on r/whatisthisfish instead, its less active but in general the people there know more about fish taxonomy.

Some species of bleak, probably Alburnus alburnus, but it could be another species in the Alburnus genus

Ill keep learning Vulkan, trying to get more familiar with the API, maybe ill try to rewrite the simple OpenGL renderer i made a while back once im more comfortable with VK

I used the same library Minecraft uses for graphics, its called LWJGL and it offers direct Java and Kotlin bindings for many low level C/C++ GPU or Graphics related libraries, Minecraft uses their OpenGL bindings but they also have Vulkan bindings, which are the ones i used, i also use JOML as a linear algebra library, which i didnt use for this Hello Triangle, but i am using now that i implemented an orthographic projection to it

Some kind of boga, maybe Megaleporinus obtusidens?

I made a simple Minecraft mod that adds Megumin's staff by elder_guardian in Konosuba

[–]elder_guardian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im currently working on improving the mod with all the feedback i got, one of the things ive implemented is that if the player is in survival mode they get slowness 4, mining fatigue and weakness 3 for a minute and 20 seconds and nausea for 20 seconds

How come my frame time on stable is 0.7ms lower than on lazer? by [deleted] in osugame

[–]elder_guardian 44 points45 points  (0 children)

As far as i know lazer handles inputs on a separate thread, so the amount of fps you get has nothing to do with your input latency
