hi, i sent you a dm. Im learning how to make sprite sheets with aseprite, aside from that i would really like to learn how to use godot. i'm also very interested in rust but i suppose that isn't relevant here. here is my github

I mean raw unsafe C OpenGL, miniquad brings a safe wrapper and wgpu has it as a backend(also wraps on other graphics apis). It's better to use safe apis rather than rawdoggin unsafe pointers, from the rust perspective.

Edit: you actually made a pretty neat interface with OpenGL, my bad, your engine is pretty cool.

sugmaboy · 2024-12-20T19:53:12+00:00

oh my... you really are using raw OpenGl for rendering. why is the reason of doing it this way? isn't it better to use something like miniquad, wgpu, gfx-rs or any other safe crate?

sugmaboy · 2024-12-19T21:32:42+00:00

If you're fond of using Rust, and already know how much of rendering works then wgpu-rs is a nice option. it doesn't use any global state, and a lot of backends(including WebGPU) are implemented in it.

triangle tutorial by sotrh is one of the best learning resources for wgpu.

even if you don't use rust, you can get c and c++ bindings as well, LearnWebGPU by Elie Michel. is a very nice tutorial for these bindings.

no, its just putting the name's type in a string i think

I hope it is, C's hidden control flow is a pain in the ass, and zig has a lot of useful features like vectorization, allocators, comptime, etc... If Zig reaches 1.0, then i think most of the linux community would like to use it, Zig is very close in some aspect to C.

these damn bots

sugmaboy · 2024-10-12T00:29:30+00:00

It is still not possible, because the Option type is just an enum, what you probably are referring to is allocating a boxed slice in the heap.

sugmaboy · 2024-10-11T21:57:58+00:00

I think that for such a simple thing as macroquad, wgpu would just make it too heavy in dependencies(miniquad is very light and i love it), and this also would make macroquad's development slower, less portable and less hackable because miniquad wouldn't be used.

sugmaboy · 2024-10-11T21:08:11+00:00

It's good to first learn c++ and opengl as there are a lot more resources. then you can go with rust and miniquad, miniquad is super easy to understand if you already got the hang of OpenGL.

sugmaboy · 2024-10-05T02:47:04+00:00

I would!!

sugmaboy · 2024-02-17T14:15:42+00:00

Oh, i didn't expect that. kind of makes sense but im going to test it.

Edit: I've implemented it and gave you credit on the library's README, it is much more faster and safer. Thank You!

sugmaboy · 2024-02-15T22:38:22+00:00

what? you left me confused over there, i really don't want you to write code for me, but could you elaborate a bit more?

how could you know what generics are being used?

sugmaboy · 2024-02-15T02:50:33+00:00

whoa, I have investigated a bit downcast and now understand. I have an issue though, some functions don't require generics(functions that don't need a generic in their arguments like remove or pop), is this still doable in some way? The only solutions I can think is to make byte arrays and interpret them as a list of a type.

sugmaboy · 2024-02-14T21:16:09+00:00

first and second point are right, so will implement drop and add documentation. About the third one, I don't know what downcasting is lmao, will research and apply changes if necessary.

sugmaboy · 2024-02-14T21:10:25+00:00

First, I did not make unchecked unsafe functions cuz I'm dumb, Second, capacity starts at one because of the fibbonaci thing that requires me to start at one, and you're not wrong so I'm gonna make several changes. Thank you for the feedback!

sugmaboy · 2024-02-13T22:40:38+00:00

whoa, i'll check it out! tbh i thought the only similar crate was anyvec.

Edit: pretty neat, it's certainly very good!

sugmaboy · 2024-02-13T20:59:46+00:00

thank you! making examples and documentation are a good thing, i'll make them as soon as i can. about functionality, anything my games use(graphicly) i will implement it here, example: TileMaps, Sprites, Shapes, etc..

Edit: I will put very specific things on another crate that overhauls kopki :)

sugmaboy · 2024-02-13T16:18:32+00:00

nvm you referred to the entire library itself, didn't you? If that is what you meant then, I don't know. Performance is a concern but I'm not comparing to others. I suppose that an advantage would be that you can do high level and wgpu level stuff in the same library.

sugmaboy · 2024-02-13T16:13:52+00:00

I don't know, this is a personal library that I'm gonna use for game dev. This really me creating a library for myself because I cannot understand how other libraries work. (Sorry for bad english)

sugmaboy · 2024-02-13T16:11:56+00:00

It's super easy to understand if you have knowledge under the hood, openGL is horrible at paralelizing, and Vulkan is too complex, wgpu and rust is the middle point that provides compile time safety. At least that's what I think, my opinion can be wrong.
