Well that's nifty.. I love how the logo says "ES" for "Emulation Station" haha.

Also, while this is not directly related to your question, I just found this great resource for 2D games that you might like to read: http://higherorderfun.com/blog/2012/05/ ... atformers/

Wow, this looks great! Thanks for sharing, keep us posted!

The logic would be the same as any "follow" mechanism. Essentially, just set the follower's acceleration in the direction of the target each frame. Untested pseudocode (this is C, feel free to replace C idioms with C++ idioms, e.g. std::vector<Entity>): const float ENTITY_ACC = 1.0f; typed...

Not yet released! Keep an eye on your email/Kickstarter updates/Facebook/etc. All the usual places.

It's a great essay either way. I always enjoy reading your essays. :P

Very cool! The Proof of Concept tile engine is impressive as well. What do you plan on doing with the particle engine? Also, I noticed you're using immediate mode rendering. If you want to learn modern OpenGL and speed it up even more, I suggest https://learnopengl.com/ . I wouldn't go so far as to...

There are probably a few other good examples out there too, but video games do not tend to make heavy use of threads. That is all excellent information which I 100% agree with, but he didn't ask about "modern video games", he asked about "modern software". A *lot* of modern soft...

I am looking into getting a new pc and the thought crossed my mind as I noticed a 10 core cpu as an option - what is the max number of cores that modern software utilizes? Based on nothing other than intuition, I would say 2-4 is probably average. That said, if you're running more than 1 process at...

While technically the struct keyword in C++ is exactly the same as the class keyword aside from the default member access being public vs. private, most code I've seen still treats structs semantically as though they are C structs. Remember, you can specify "public:" accessor at the top of...

Thanks for the detailed answer!

Involved with a tournament through the chess university program. Proud to say all wins so far :) Time controls are 3 days/move. Atleast 10 games still in progress for me. Will post as they resolve.

Reminds me of my own experiments I did for my bachelor's thesis. You can speed this up a lot by updating the particles in a geometry shader.

Vouch. This guy's legit ^

I'm aware that my OpenGL usage has been long deprecated :lol: When I learned basic OpenGL a while ago I went with the simplest route to get the visuals I wanted, but it's obviously not sustainable for the future. I looked through that website and it's unbelievable how well it explains everything. I...
