"The Playdate Story: What Was it Like to Make Handheld Video Game System Hardware?" GDC talk by @cabel is illuminating and very entertaining. (free on GDC vault!) https://gdcvault.com/play/1034707/The-Playdate-Story-What-Was

time to learn about sdf font rendering

all the TTF solutions are pretty unsatisfying in terms of output quality, but I also want to layer effects on

stb has one, so shouldn't be too bad

@jkaniarz @superfunc was about to come and post the exact same blog series :P
+1 for that

@jkaniarz what do you mean with effects?

iralmeida,
@iralmeida@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@jkaniarz @superfunc right! with the 16xAA coverage masks you can't do effects like that.

It's an Anti Aliasing technique that is really nice for "sharp" rendering of a glyph without needing to align it to the target pixel grid.
The approach expands on "coverage vs shade" and on how to do the samples, but still uses a glyph cache to store those values (i.e. pre-computed rasterisation of a glyph to a certain pixel target size).

So it's still a grid of values for coverage, not distance to edge.

@iralmeida@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@jkaniarz @superfunc a very different approach would be SLUG https://jcgt.org/published/0006/02/02/ https://sluglibrary.com/
as that seems to keep the bรฉzier data all the way to the end.

I've had half a mind to read it properly and try it, but I actually haven't ๐Ÿ˜…
I saw it renders multi-color emojis, but I'm unsure what are the possibilities for effects.

ah... the rabbit hole of font rendering! ๐Ÿ˜Š

So... Lost my best friend a few days ago. After 6 months fighting with cancer, it finally took over.

RIP the funniest, the kindest, the loveliest, and the bravest of cats. I do miss you and I always will.

A while ago I started to wonder why "bicubic" image filter inside is exactly like that. And that led into a rabbit hole of trying to figure out what apps mean by "cubic"/"bicubic", and of course everyone means a different thing.

So I made a small html page to compare them! https://aras-p.info/img/misc/upsample_filter_comp_2024/

@BartWronski @aras you made up the name for that one, didn't you?

@aras @feyter Was about to say the same!
But I'm slightly confused, I though devdog was the mentor and devfrog the one rejecting PRs ๐Ÿค”

Recently I made a demo project on WebGPU, rendering the classic Sponza scene with shadows and cloth & water simulation. My goal was mostly to learn WebGPU, test if it is production-ready, and have some fun on the way.

Here's are my thoughts on WebGPU and the project itself โฌ‡๏ธ

@lisyarus This is so nice!

How do you find the expected support for clients to support WebGPU?
I've been keeping an eye on these, but it doesn't look ready yet?

Me & friends made a little game last weekend for a gamejam.
Turns out it got first place! ๐Ÿ†
Try it out in the :playdate: simulator.

I've procrastinated so much to tag 1.90 that since 1.89 and with all 1.89.x releases there has been 900 lines of Changelog so far.

Fun-fact: main reason of that version-tagging procrastination is I wanted a certain feature in 1.90, and I'll end up releasing 1.90 without it.

@ocornut What's the feature?
