Rune Skovbo JohansenI've quietly made my LayerProcGen framework public:
https://github.com/runevision/LayerProcGen
It's a framework (C#) that can be used to implement layer-based procedural generation that's infinite, deterministic and contextual.
Nobody else have tried/tested it yet - if you're up for taking it for a spin, let me know how it looks; what's clear or confusing, if you think there's low hanging fruit improvements I could make, etc.

@DoubleBuffered but “He loves IP” Ben. His rich pal says nobody could have seen this coming!
@dubroy most of the very experienced engineers who work on Unreal Engine (one of the largest and most complex monolithic C++ codebases in existence) use the MSVC debugger on a daily basis. And the logic behind “use float until double is proven necessary” resulted in a huge multi-year refactoring effort in unreal engine. Float can make sense for storage/memory reasons, but math computations can nearly always be done in double with minimal extra cost (and significant savings in pain and suffering)
@dubroy hmm kinda questionable advice/statements though…

Ludovic Chabant“There is no EU cookie banner law“: an interesting take on the “cookie consent pop-ups”. It may be good to keep this in mind as big US corps are also about to implement the DMA in more stupid and annoying ways. https://www.bitecode.dev/p/there-is-no-eu-cookie-banner-law
@Gte @schwa yes it’s basically all compute shaders, but it dynamically switches to the hardware rasterizer for larger triangles. CPU is only used for precompute, to generate the mesh patch hierarchy. I can’t take any credit, it was all @BrianKaris and the rest of the rendering team.
@jsnell one can be a satisfied Apple customer and still believe that the way Apple is operating is terrible for competition in the software industry, and be frustrated by the deeply shitty parts of their ecosystem
