So my hyperfixation as of this week- networking!

Also added a wee bit of automation to make the host->spawnclient-> connect to host -> make the client small and tiled properly be much smoother

having an animated console log does wonders for making me want to actually write useful messages.

Modern single threaded perf has gotten so fast its kinda mindblowing.

These particles are updating gravity, acceleration, lifetimes, doing the laziest implementation i could think of.

Is it practical? ehh probably not.

The code is mega simple but shocked at the amount of particles you can handle with just a little bit of SIMD and a single thread of a forloop even on a crummy laptop.

So I've started to make a particle system..

Should really code for fun more often

physics is back in the new renderer. All thats left is bringing animations and UI back online. and I daresay i might be ready to start making a game

Having a hex view of various camera data while moving around really makes me hackerman.

new sdl3 renderer now has debug draws!

After nearly two years of playing with my toy engine I have implemented most things needed to make a game.

But I still haven't looked past chapter 1 of Real time rendering and done anything more complex in terms of rendering than just color to screen.

Oh also new renderer with SDL3 gpu.

Attempted this 3 times but settled on an api I can stick with.

Video shows animations on the player controller with the old system snapping between animations and the new system which smoothly blends between

This is a custom game engine written in zig
