Insane how just glancing at a Steam page for one second is often enough to correctly guess that the game won’t sell

I really enjoy DirectX 12 more than Vulkan, but there is one problem that is getting harder and harder to ignore: Microsoft.

#gamedev

I'm working on porting the official Microsoft DirectX12 examples to C. I am doing it for fun and to learn better about DX12, Windows and C. Here is the code for this sample:

#directx #gamedev #cprogramming #C #graphicsprogramming

Only in #cpp this is "fairly straightforward" lmao

I started all social media at the same time six months ago.

This is literally the only social media platform you can get people to follow you're starting from scratch.

One thing that makes me reluctant to use C instead of C++ is concurrency, especially on Windows. C++ support for concurrency is already not great as is, but at least it offers a lot of nice functional programming idioms out of the box that make the code nicer compared to using raw Win32 stuff.

It's funny to find an __if_exists in DirectX 12 official examples when this article devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/... says you should never use it

Trying to rewrite DirectX stuff in C as an excuse to study some of its internals is a nice exercise.
Here is a WIP rewrite of DirectX Math library in C

Some notes I took while studying DirectX 12.
Do you take notes while studying?

I created a new account here and on Twitter to see how fast both grow posting the same content about #gamedev. Results after one day:

#Bluesky: 44 followers and every post got a few likes.
#Twitter: 1 follower and 1 like on the posts.

Great results, only thing I miss here is an impressions count.

Sharing this graph to show how I reached 10K followers as a #gamedev on #bluesky in roughly 10 weeks. Thanks for being part of it!
