#sdl — Public Fediverse posts

Lots of refactors for the engine, it's a lot smoother now (under acceptable settings)...! I am happy enough with it now to start iterating gameplay more thoroughly. Dungeons & Skilltrees are next! #gamedev #zoxel #flecs #sdl

As feared, there's something afoot with nested clipping using the stencil buffer. But we now have kittens (images).

#McCLIM #SDL #CommonLisp #OpenGL #Lisp

I'm a little disappointed with myself that I couldn't track down the CLIM transformation within the SHEET-REGION pipeline preventing me from getting the correct, flipped clipping region for GL scissor ops before my patience ran out. But I was able to just specialize on the medium and flip it directly with decent effect.

This is integrating my existing OpenGL medium (renderer) into the newish, alpha SDL2 backend.

But here's a video-demonstration about how does "Crisps Chat 🍟" looks now 😋🍿📽️👉 https://fediverse.tv/w/1W9BU5Wi8sKDLtNzcY3Qp3

You can see the chat's source code here 🏔️👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Crisps-Chat

@dank @lilyyllyyllyly @corbden @401matthall @north Sound in Linux? That's a piece of cake since #SDL 1.2
You want some challenge? Add an enable retracing setting. 😈

One reoccurring theme throughout the game's open source life is it being ported to new and interesting platforms that it was never previously available for.

In the very beginning, the source release also made the #Linux build of the game publicly available for the first time. Then the game has been ported to #HaikuOS, #macOS, the web with Emscripten, and now recently #NintendoSwitch with a homebrew toolchain.

The game is very portable and runs on just about anything that #SDL supports.

SDL: version 3.4.14 released https://playingtux.com/en/articles/2026/08/sdl-v3414-released/ #Linux #Gaming #LinuxGaming #SDL #GameDev

Wenn das #Labor selbst forscht: Mit Self-Driving Labs #SDL entsteht eine neue Form der #Forschung. Autonome #Robotik, #KI und menschliche Expertise greifen ineinander und beschleunigen Prozesse enorm. Das Potenzial für die #Gesundheitsforschung ist gewaltig – am #KITKarlsruhe entstanden so beispielsweise künstliche Herzklappen aus dem 3D-Drucker in bislang unerreichter Geschwindigkeit.

It's been a while since I had time (and quiet) to stream. Today is a new chance. I plan on streaming more #McCLIM #SDL or #OpenGL things in a little under an hour from this posting at 10am CDT / 15:00 UTC. Hopefully I be able to again this Friday.

IME input text is working well, in my view, with SDL2. I'll demo its current state. Next I want to reacquaint with my #Wayland branch and go from there.

I'll be trying to fix new #SDL IME usage issues I found -- it could be tedious :/ That's where I'll start at least, I might need to jump to something more "fun" if it's more tedious than I anticipate.

#CommonLisp #GUI

One issue I've had when porting games such as Principia to the web is that while SDL offers functionality to read and write files like you're on any other platform, save data you write into the memory will be lost unless you make an effort to save it yourself into more permanent browser storage. Which is kinda messy.

But now that Principia is on SDL3, I finally got to try the new SDL_EMSCRIPTEN_PERSISTENT_PATH CMake option (3.4.4+). Set it to /storage (which is where SDL_GetPrefPath will return a path inside of), build SDL along with your game, and it just works. So wonderful.

#gamedev #sdl #opensource

For the past couple days I have been working on migrating Principia to #SDL3. I did a first pass on the migration a while back but with some things stubbed out.

There's... not much to show now that everything works like it should, but plenty of code cleanups as a result! Some functions that have been replaced with new SDL3 functions, the main entrypoint code has been rewritten to use SDL3's callbacks meaning less per-platform stuff for the web version, and so on. Very satisfying.

Just saw this tutorial for SDL3, dang fresh from the oven!

Still getting comments like this 18 ish years after my old Beginner's Guide to Game Programming videos game out. :3

#gamedev #cpp #allegro #sdl

I'm back. The last weeks I developed my programming skills and got into Löve and extended my C++ knowledge by getting deep into SDL used by many games like Celeste but also SuperTux and SuperTuxKart.

So yesterday and today I was sitting almost the whole day in front of Krita drawing many different things.

So, I now plan to draw and post here regular again.

This was just a fast drawing but I lile the mood.

Currently learning the difference between SDL_Gamepad and SDL_Joystick the hard way (i.e. through step-by-step debugging).

Dusklight won't recognize my old Gamecube-to-USB pad adapter, so I thought I'll add support for it. Still at the stage where I'm barely figuring things out, though.

Hi folks! ✌️

Here's the new version of the game about our feathery friend 🐦👉 https://fediverse.tv/w/9oPmEH866vmVfGpEqzt25D

The link to download the game in the video description 🙂, because... I doubt that if I will put here two links, the video will shows you here (on Mastodon) from PeerTube 😅

Have a good, and productive day for you 🙂
