Sam after 6 months of development.

@CodeRed_dev well hopefully with an easier graphics library 😭

@CodeRed_dev Vulkan triangle takes dedication :)

@CodeRed_dev where do i invest?

@CodeRed_dev this is so true tbh, they're crazy big to make

@CodeRed_dev i remember my first vulkan triangle. felt like 6 years

@CodeRed_dev this is 14 days of vulkan and most of my time was spent on designing it well rather than adding features as thats the point of this project. game engine programming has an overhead at the start but when you have a physics system, level editor, animations, etc you can reuse them

@CodeRed_dev I can relate, did the same, 2k LoC to draw primitives 🤡

@CodeRed_dev If it's OpenGL triangle, then it's clearly a mocking joke, but if it's a Vulkan triangle, then 6 months is actually pretty realistic :)

@CodeRed_dev 6 months is enough to make a cube with shading, just not for me tho im lazy asf

@CodeRed_dev Yes, I remember those days. Not fondly... 😳

@CodeRed_dev Took me a week straight to do vulkan tutorial's hello triangle and I still have no idea what any of it means

@CodeRed_dev Hahaha dang, no need to call out like that

@CodeRed_dev It's not that hard, I have done that in a week in scratch.mit.edu

@CodeRed_dev OpenGL Rosetta stone for that triangle: nehe.gamedev.net/tutorial/your_…

@CodeRed_dev That is a lot of work 💪

@CodeRed_dev if you got this far, the rest is cake

@CodeRed_dev Odd but true, not many game engines have that by default, nice job Sam. X E.

@CodeRed_dev Game engine is not the same thing as building a rendering library from scratch. Games should be made with tailored engines.

@CodeRed_dev bitblt-ing in windows gdi like in the old days💩

@CodeRed_dev That's how sigmas are born

@CodeRed_dev Nothing has been more humbling as an engineer than trying to get DX12 working from scratch. I feel like I'm back in college again.

@CodeRed_dev Thankfully, the second triangle only takes 4 months.

@CodeRed_dev To be fair it’s also probably rotating 😀

@CodeRed_dev I felt this

@CodeRed_dev i remember doing this and was like "am i a god?!"

@CodeRed_dev Ah yes, the Vulkan™ experience.

@CodeRed_dev if thats Vulkan make it two years
