Finally added movie player for my old Mech Commander 2 OpenGL port. Noticed someone has forked my repo https://github.com/alariq/mc2 and added 600+ [Claude co-authored] commits in 2 weeks!
It was stated that fork https://github.com/ThranduilsRing/mc2-opengl-remastered has PBR terrain(?), PCF shadows, tessellation, etc.. Somehow shaders had mistakes, but I was interested how it all looks, so I fixed them and was able to run the fork. Indeed it had higher res terrain and PCF shadows, but both look as if they do not belong to the game.
wow! you can step-debug GLSL pixel shaders in #renderdoc. Was interested why one particular pixel becomes black, clicked Debug button and... it just worked. Apparently there are limitations, but it worked for me just fine.

@pythno@mastodon.gamedev.place Agree about filling the framebuffer. It makes it extremely portable (I've already been thinking about making a tiny game with it, hopefully most of the border cases were solved). But to just get a retro look I think it is easier by using conventional GPU APIs. Just render to low res with nearest sampling and flat shading. For extra analogue touch: encode to PAL and back :)

@jalict@mastodon.gamedev.place ah forgot to mention here: spaceship is from PsionicGames (itch.io) and planet is an image from craftpix.net

@rygorous I always find your articles top quality and well thought out. I do need to reread some parts couple of times (maybe more ;) ) but then again, what is the reason to just skim without understanding.
why yes, of course this has zero [syntax] errors.
Revision 2026 invitation is awesome!

it was fun. my first approach led to dead end. had to restart from blank state, this led to 1285. Not best, but not sure where to go from here, code becomes more complicated and not so fun anymore :) I know it should be possible theoretically but do not want to start from scratch 3rd time. kerneloptimization.fun #kerneloptimizationfun
was fruitlessly trying to find an error in my rasterizer code, until I understood that there is an error here: https://microsoft.github.io/DirectX-Specs/d3d/archive/D3D11_3_FunctionalSpec.htm#3.4.2.1%20Top-Left%20Rule
upd: pushed PR, it is fixed now

@unfa@mastodon.social I have Arch, x11, RTX3050Ti, cloned 4.6.1 compiled, ran following your steps, it runs fine. I see some validation errors related to relaxed precision (midp/min16float) though, but that should not cause any deadlocks.
