First version of my movement system 👀
Still early, but I’m focusing on making it feel responsive and smooth.

Getting the “feel” right is harder than expected 😅

Any thoughts?

Coding for Fun Using Lessons from Work

With free time being precious, I tried to apply lessons from my past as a professional programmer to speed development of my BASIC game, Cycladic League. Sometimes I succeeded, sometimes I didn’t.…

So I ended up not doing traditional collision checking at all, but relying on flocking to keep the units from colliding and it's actually working pretty nicely!

We are going to dig a little deeper in our exploration of Project Panama and how to talk to third party libraries such as SDL & OpenGL. With the skills you've learned from Part 1 and Part 2, you should be able to call most of the common function signatures in many libraries out in the wild....

AAA why are gamepads so messed up, why can't we have a nice standardized gamepad interface

`glfwJoystickIsGamepad` returns false for me for some reason with a completely normal Xbox Wireless Controller connected via Bluetooth. This seems like the absolute simplest possible case, that has to be like the most mainstream and widespread controller possible yet it still doesn't work

I made a forum thread: https://discourse.glfw.org/t/glfwjoystickisgamepad-returns-false-for-an-xbox-wireless-controller/2976 + a GH issue: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/2797

glfwJoystickIsGamepad returns false for an Xbox Wireless Controller

When I connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to my computer (running macOS 26), glfwJoystickIsPresent(0) returns true, but glfwJoystickIsGamepad(0) returns false. Here’s a small test program I wrote which demonstrates the issue: #include <GLFW/glfw3.h> #include <cstdlib> #include <iostream> int main() { if (!glfwInit()) abort(); GLFWwindow *window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "GLFW Test", nullptr, nullptr); if (!window) abort(); while (!glfwWindowShouldClose(window)) { glfwPollEvents();...
