Just spent another night practicing C++ trying to learn Vulkan by reading/trying to write a program using Vulkan. I'll get it completely eventually.

There just is something about video games that raises my mood and makes me feel good. My first system was the NES it came with SMB / Duck Hunt. When I was a kid when teachers would ask me what I wanted to do I would say make video games. So it's been a life long goal that I am going to achieve.

Found a gem on Steam that I have been playing. I usually don't play marvel games or watch the movies (I used to read the comics) called Marvel Cosmic invasion. It's similar to Final fight or the Simpsons arcade. I have been enjoying this game.

I need a better graphics card/computer; the video capture software I have been using is starting to choke, and the video stutters and freezes when I use complex shaders or intense visuals. I had to take down a video because I noticed afterwards that it was stuttering.

I don't know if this is weird but I think I communicate with a keyboard better than talking because sometimes I have issues with talking. I know I sound lame but I can't help it.

Well good news is I lost so much weight I don't have to take metformin anymore. Bad news is I made myself look bad trying to talk to my new doctor and she couldn't understand a lot of what I said because my speech from the coma I was in and dysarthria that resulted. Kind of embarrassing.

Released a Windows port of my game with the ability to turn off the shader effects so people who do not want to see that kind of stuff can still enjoy the game.

I added an option to turn off shader effects in my game for those who still want to enjoy the puzzle game, but do not like psychedelic visuals. #homebrew

It is still amazing to me when I play or look at modern video game graphics. It makes me want to learn more. #dreams

I like making smaller games and demos because it is just something I do as a hobby. Gives me something to do, because of my health issues. Keeps me engaged and busy so I don't fall into deep depression again.

There is a port of Liquid Acid Drop for Windows X64 (a reimagining of the Atari 2600 classic) using Vulkan on my website on the homebrew page (check the links)

Check out my new shirt. I have lost over 100 pounds the past 6 months, if you go back and look at my older videos you really can see.

This video shows what i think to be the lamest game I eve made called PacAttack, but its running within my own Virtual Environment with its own custom shell GUI/CLI. I learned a lot writing this program. #homebrew #cplusplus #wasm #opensource #demo

I have been trying to make more programming related content than art videos. I have been teaching myself GPU programming this year studying books and LLMs to practice and gain more experience. It keeps me engaged with life and out of depression. Nothing I like better than how it feels to code.

The amount of point sprites slowly increases in this Vulkan demo. The amount of sprites being rendered in listed in the top left , it does not even slow down until its rendering tens of thousands each shaded differently. #homebrew #demo #cplusplus

I made some ports of my games/demos with Vulkan and OpenGL targeted to X64 windows. But I don't think anyone would want to use them so ill just leave them online. x86_64-w64-mingw32 is great I do not even have to use Windows and still compile my software for it. Although I did test on my Legion Go

I slept all day yesterday, then got up last night, and was up here alone working on my projects/reading my books. Got a lot of stuff done with my game engine, but it can be lonesome sometimes.

improved my base code with my Vulkan C++ wrapper.
I think this is going to be my starting point to any new Vulkan apps i create. I broke libmx2 down into 3 component libraries,
MX2 core the window/system stuff, mxgl the OpenGL implementation, and mxvk the Vulkan implementation. #homebrew

Video is just me having some fun trying some different ideas, with C++/Vulkan/OpenCV #videoart #homebrew
