Hello Bluesky community, I'm encelo. 👋
I love the Amiga and the demoscene, I have been an Arch Linux fanboy since 2005, I'm a computer graphics enthusiast and I work in the game industry as a rendering programmer.
In my spare time I work on the nCine, a cross-platform open source 2D game framework.

Just like my personal site, the official nCine website has now migrated from Jekyll to Hugo with the Blowfish theme. 🚀 A fresh, faster, and more professional lift-off!

Experimenting with CPU topology discovery for my job system, trying to choose smarter pool sizes and pinning.
Idea so far:
– spawn workers only on physical cores across tiers
– leave fastest core unpinned
– don’t pin main thread
– pin workers from 2nd fastest core onward
Any different strategy? 👀

I’ve added support for a bunch of environment variables that you can set to override any run-time value in your AppConfiguration.
Things like fullscreen mode, VSync, output audio frequency, the data path, the log file name, and much more.

After many years without a change, an update to the nCine readme file was long overdue.
It should now be both nicer and clearer. What do you think?
