Vulkan came out 10 years ago

And OpenGL 33 years ago

I feel old

TerminalFury: An OpenGL Terminal Velocity, Fury3, and Hellbender source port.

Not open source but the dev is looking for help, mostly with OpenGL stuff. He always sounds so tired on his update videos.

Should work fine on Linux and the Steam Deck through Proton. 'Terminal Velocity: Legacy' was available on Steam but I don't think the 'Boosted edition' will work. Fury3 and Hellbender I think are abandonware.

⚠ For new #OpenGL devs. If you want to learn it using the RED book, get the 7th edition one.

> They rewrote everything in 8th and 9th to focus on devs who were already familiar with OpenGL concepts. The 7th is way more friendly for new developers getting into graphics and explains even the most basic concepts of OpenGL.

Last version of #OpenGL came out almost 10 years old.
"You should move to Vulkan"
UHHHHHHHhhhh..... no please.
I feel like 70% of the people that praise Vulkan have never used Vulkan.
It is not an OpenGL replacement. It's a complete different approach.
It feels way too low level. Everything takes way too much code.
"Oh but It's better"
It's better if you really love tinkering the inner workings of a rendering pipeline...
"So many things use Vulkan now"
That's like saying "so many things are written in assembly now" It's all thanks to SPIR-V and compatibility layers, most stuff is not written natively in Vulkan.
"Just use a framework"
Yeah... can you give me a good framework that makes use Vulkan as easy as OpenGL that actually has some level of long term support?

I'll be back to debugging my dynamic font atlases but happy to chat about any other Lispy/CLIM-y/OpenGL-y thing, too.

«ECS — like» вектор на с++

В программировании частая задача это работа с последовательными элементами. В этой, порой непростой задаче, нам часто помогают вектора. Вектора бывают самыми разными от queue и set до unordered_map и обычных массивов. Все они позволяют работать с данными по разному, где то быстрее вставка, где то быстрее доступ, но все они выполняют одну важную задачу это хранение данных. И не смотря на их всеобъемлющую вариативность, в жизни встречаются ситуации когда один вектор не может решить задачу. Точнее может, но через костыли... О чем я?
