The most important part of Vectron is the real-time generation and visualization of audio. In the previous blog post I already built a simulated XY oscilloscope which I'll use to visualize the two stereo channels, and I'll use SDL for the platform-independent playback of the audio.
It's been a couple of years since the post where I first introduced the new game I was working on, Vectron. In this post I wanted to tell you a bit about how I programmed the graphics of Vectron. Although I finished the game nearly a year ago, I was putting of releasing it. Compiling it for Windows and MacOS was a barrier I had to overcome, but I can finally say that I released my first game! You can checkout Vectron's page on itch.io.
I first learned Rust back in 2014, before it was stable. Rust is definitely a very interesting language so I have decided to revisit it by programming a simple neural network. For comparison, I also implemented the network in C++, the language I'm looking to replace.
It's been a while, a whole year to be exact, and a very eventful one. I'd like to share with you some of the things that happened this year, as well as the things I have been working on and that made me shift away my attention from the blog.
In this series of posts, I am going to create a clone of the classic arcade game, space invaders, in C++ using only a few dependencies. In this last post of the series, I will handle scoring and add routines for drawing text and other UI elements.
In this series of posts, I am going to create a clone of the classic arcade game, space invaders, in C++ using only a few dependencies. In this post I will add processing of player input from the keyboard and firing of projectiles.
In this series of posts, I am going to create a clone of the classic arcade game, space invaders, in C++ using only a few dependencies. In this post I will make the game loop run at a fixed time step, add the player and the aliens, and finally add sprite animation.
In this series of posts, I am going to create a clone of the classic arcade game, space invaders, in C++ using only a few dependencies. In this post I will set up the required OpenGL shaders to draw an alien sprite!
In this series of posts, I am going to create a clone of the classic arcade game, space invaders, in C++ using only a few dependencies. In this post I will set up a window with an OpenGL 3.3 context using GLFW and GLEW, as the only dependencies for this simple clone.
For my first blog post, I'd like to introduce myself, and give you an overview of what to expect on this blog.
