I just published my first article on @handmade_net on how to write better (game) libraries. Thanks to @cmuratori and everyone else for the feedback. Check out the article here: handmade.network/wiki/7138-h…

Does any AI agent tool like @opencode have a way to do a "partial compact"? Agent does task 1 from a todolist, I test it and it's buggy so we talk to fix it. I would like to continue task 2 in the same convo and compact just the portion of the chat about fixing the task 1 code.

Best approximations I can think of now: 1. undo the chat but not the code 2. tell the llm you had to make some fixes and describe them briefly 3. continue with task 2 You could also use separate agents for the task with an md for context sharing between agents I suppose.

Been watching the development of this game on youtube for almost a decade, so cool to see it realized now

Blog post: Bypassing the branch predictor In this post I talk about what you can do when the branch predictor is optimizing a code path that is not performance-critical, instead of one that is, and thus *pessimizing* your program instead of *optimizing* it.

Blog post: Getting rid of unwanted branches with __builtin_unreachable() In this post I describe a way of exploiting input constraints with __builtin_unreachable(), with the goal of eliminating unwanted code paths and reducing the machine code size of specific functions.

This seems fine to me, weird how many people hate it. I prefer having a single return at the end, tho one exception I sometimes make is for preconditions where i just have an if statement at the very start that returns.

Replying to @rfleury
The reason I prefer this over early returns is because I can guarantee that each top-level scope in the function is hit for all cases. I can always set breakpoints and reliably know they'll be hit. I can add universal features for all calls, even if they don't hit all branches.

After many years I finally got iOS development working well thru cmake. I hope to do a writeup on this soon because it's so useful for game devs who wanna use C++ and target multiple platforms including mobile.

One thing I like about C/C++ is that there is a much nicer middle ground. I use plenty of libraries made by other people and they help tremendously, but there's like 20-30 of them not millions, way less noise and complications that way.

Are there any C libraries for tweening like tweeny (github.com/mobius3/tweeny) or UniversalTweenEngine (github.com/AurelienRibon/uni…)? I feel like it would be so useful but I can't find any.

Two-faced PS5, anyone? 🔴⚫️ @ColorWare will give 1 random person who follows and RTs this tweet a PS5 slim in whatever colors they want for free! Good luck 😈

I’m going to do a 🧵 about making retro-style games in C/C++, and also about getting them to run in a browser.

I know you all were deeply worried about this, so we restored Windows XP support in SDL3: github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pu…

SDL3 WinXP support by icculus · Pull Request #8929 · libsdl-org/SDL

This only needed minor changes, afaik, so here you go. It will not be our policy to support WinXP if we have to make heroic efforts to maintain compatibility, but these changes are small, so this m...

MSVC-generated PDBs retain large amounts of old debug info from prior builds, causing them to grow bigger and bigger every time you build your project: computerenhance.com/p/msvc-p…

MSVC PDBs Are Filled With Stale Debug Info

Tracking down a debugger bug lead me to the surprising discovery that recent Microsoft linkers amass giant piles of stale data in PDBs, even when all incremental build options are disabled.

Related: a common way to take a desktop screenshot from Win32 apps is to send the Print Screen key, wait a bit, read the buffer. This is even documented on MSDN: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wi…

keybd_event function (winuser.h) - Win32 apps

Synthesizes a keystroke.

TIL: This is how Unreal prevents the screen saver from showing up.

The whole unity drama might turn out to be a positive if we see a revival of small handmade indie game engines.
