more coroutine shenanigans. This time I've implemented a working textbox system

Got screen fading to work in my game using my own coroutine system from scratch. this is the c code driving it

define_flat_coroutine(fade_screen_to_black, fcr_locals(int alpha_iteration;), ptr_type(Platform) platform) {
    f32 dt = convert(f32, platform->time.delta_seconds);


    fcr_begin({
        system_color_pallete(COLOR_ID_FADER).x = (1021.0f / 1024.0f);
        fcr->locals.alpha_iteration = 0;
    });


    for(; fcr->locals.alpha_iteration < 23; fcr->locals.alpha_iteration++) {
        system_color_pallete(COLOR_ID_FADER).x -= (2.0f / 1024.0f);
        fcr_wait_time(.05f, dt);
    }

    fcr_end();
}
...
flat_coroutine(fade_screen_to_black) screen_fader = flat_coroutine_setup(fade_screen_to_black);

//in the render function
//next any relevant UI
    if(show_black_screen) {
        //append the black screen
        flat_coroutine_run_with_args(ref(screen_fader), platform);
        ptr_type(Render_UI_Quad) r_quad = ui_quad_fixture_append_fixed_space_single(ui_fixture, ref(ui_quad_space), 1);
        r_quad->sprite_attribs.z = -1.0f;
    }
    else if (reset_black_screen) {
        screen_fader = flat_coroutine_setup(fade_screen_to_black); //just reset the coroutine
    }

currently working on a game jam game written from scratch in C

New blog post entry. This time I've been doing work on my 2D scene system and UI:

I recently started a development blog for my gamedev journey. It's in its infancy, but I expect it to grow with interesting content over time:

While working on my UI code in opengl, I ended up making a small ascii font that I found very useful to embed in my game screen when debugging. I made it small so it has very little impact on texture space (so small even the gba could use it I believe):

I posted this in my intro, but I'll post again here.
I recently made a visual novel from scratch (making an engine with basic textbox and texture rendering features):

It's got source code included for folks that'd like to take a look at how it's done.
