I implemented instanced drawing of glyphs in WebGL/OpenGL ES 3.0. Because support for buffers is limited I tried using textures and samplers to pass the instance data like glyph ID and draw cursor position. The shaping comes from kb_text_shape.h and the rasterizer is stb_truetype.h :chefkiss:

This month I started working on a cross-platform engine that will support windows, linux and browsers using emscripten. The goal is to make a simple asteroids game, but to easily compile for each platform. I wanted to try it out because it honestly seemed simpler than learning SDL for a future project I have in mind.

Last month I lost my job (restructuring) so I've been working on a public portfolio. Here is my image format with a c++ source in the style of stb_image, with an article explaining the techniques I used to make it and a standalone handmade win32 application with custom UI. Please, take a look and give me feedback if you have any, this is my first big public project so I'm a little bit nervous 😄.

I finally got around to finishing a handmade general purpose lossless image compression format (yoga) and debugging all the edge cases. Using the images from here https://qoiformat.org/benchmark/ this is the total decode times and file sizes I get compared to stb_image.h/stb_image_write.h. Times ignore file I/O, single threaded.

It might not be anything special, but I wrote a D3D11 render implementation with the help of resources on this server and my own 3D model format parsing glTF files through assimp. I don't have any previous knowledge about 3D rendering so I'm very happy about my progress so far.
