@rfleury I always use sokol_gfx even for simple gfx stuff, its a single stb-style C header and you get to write nice code instead of this opengl/vulkan mess. For complex 3D projects I have my own render abstraction on top of vk/metal.

Stop writing OpenGL state machine management bugs with this one weird trick

@SebAaltonen I will ignore GLES as well. In theory the GLES3 backend in WebGPU could be still used (when its ready)

Is GLES tearing down your renderer or are you tearing GLES down? We dumped GLES one year ago. Nowadays Vulkan on Android and WebGPU in web. No GLES3/WebGL2.

@erin_catto @ocornut Thats awesome, did you write it in C like box2d 3.0?

@ocornut Modified Unreal with custom physics engine. The physics engine will become open source soon.

Lots of physics stuff in this video.

@SebAaltonen Playcanvas is a more complete game engine with an editor and even its own "multiplayer" game/product creation workflow.

I quickly investigated Three.js and PlayCanvas, two web renderers/engines. I was mostly interested to find out why LLM coding agents chose Three.js, making it very popular nowadays. PlayCanvas is a framework. Owns your main loop. Three.js is a composable library. You tick it.

@wookash_podcast From 10x engineer to 250k$ (token) engineer

This is the third time this week (!) I hear people tying a relationship between tokens and engineer salary. It doesn't make any sense rationally. The only reason I can see is to normalize comparing engineer salary to tokens, as if paying X for an engineer should be equivalent to paying X for tokens. The goal seems to be sending a message to CEOs to think of engineers as replaceable tokens. And to top that - in tech, and especially hardware industry obsessed with metrics - where is the "productivity" measurement? How do you know $1 of tokens give you the same as $1 engineer time? businessinsider.com/jensen-huang-5…

New blog post: A Decade of Slug This talks about the evolution of the Slug font rendering algorithm, and it includes an exciting announcement: The patent has been dedicated to the public domain. terathon.com/blog/decade-sl…

@matiasgoldberg I expect some generic lora they assign based on a database games and maybe some custom ones (where they cooperate with the studio) for games like Witcher 4 which they can use for marketing.

Ah hahaha. So that's how they did it. AI filter requires a ton of VRAM and perf, which is a problem. Another issue is that devs to have creative control, they need LoRAs. But DLSS being closed source, I doubt they'll expose LoRAs

@TheSewer56 @axelgneiting In that case, wouldn't you still prefer to write that code yourself? That way you know exactly what and when things gets transferred from ram to gpu memory and you can schedule the decompression compute task when you want?

@axelgneiting @pATjako DirectStorage uses IoRing under the hood itself. Whatever IoRing receives it ships it off to the GPU for decompression. The GPU decompression approach makes sense when dynamically streaming in assets, i.e. open world. But for traditional load screens, CPU is better.

I don't understand why people use GPU decompression on PC. Oodle is plenty fast on CPU and usually you are GPU bound. GDeflate doesn't compress that well either.

Are people still interested in doing game ui in code with unity3d? I was thinking porting my imgui to unity and here tried how ui code could look like in C# #Unity3d

@redblobgames Have you compared different font sdf generators in terms of quality?

Blog post: I've been working on a guide to SDF font rendering, and I kept getting stuck. The blog post is about the things that didn't work redblobgames.com/blog/2026-02-2…

@its_bvisness I still have my webgpu backend on my todo but so far this project seems very promising for any kind of project that has to call browser apis on the client. github.com/io-eric/webcc

We at Mozilla feel that WebAssembly has been a second-class citizen on the web for long enough. You shouldn't have to go through JS to do everything. This is probably a lot of what I will be focusing on for work in 2026! hacks.mozilla.org/2026/02/making…

Tabs in my im ui, this is not a concept in my core ui library but something build on top of it. I wanted to see if I could get something that you can define like swiftui tabs and it works in C.

@TechByTaraa More like chrome wars

Browser War 🐔

@mikulasflorek looks familiar

First screenshot of the new UI system

@KharayKrayKray Just wrote my own in C for my usecase (cross platform game engine)

Rust cargo >>> Cmake Agreed?

@OlexGameDev s32 can be used for string32. Otherwise I would go with s32 instead of i32 as well.

I am starting to debate renaming type i32 to s32. Or just add support for an alias: s32 = i32; // if i32 is the official signed integer

My system language now supports pointers. Context: - custom frontend, written in sane C++, that writes out LLVM IR text - LLVM IR backend consumes the text to produce exe/pdb

@gamefromscratch Makes sense if you mainly need ui

Toyota - Yes, that Toyota, have just announced they are creating a new "console-grade" open source cross platform game engine - Fluorite, powered but Flutter. gamefromscratch.com/toyota-create-… #gamedev #indiedev #flutter

@Tech_girlll C with a good base lib.

As a developer, which programming language is this???

@_trish_xD People don't know how to manage memory. Neither do they know how to set hard limits for anything. Memory is treated as if it is infinite.

C is NOT a hard language. Most people just don’t have the patience to learn pointers properly.
