Ti'm especially concerned about eSIM bullshit
Lmy carrier still has normal sim cards
Tvery understandable. i meanwhile imported a super cheap phone, and reflashed it using an exploit on the locked bootloader
Tbut just because it's super cheap doesn't mean it's bad. less than half the price of a samsung S7 but twice as fast cpu+gpu and more storage and memory
L
Lmy texture packer works woo
L
Ltook 1.5s
Lim willing to bet 99% of that is just updating the texture
Lits not maximally effecient as it only creates square textures
Lbut its decent enough
KNow add a feature where it cuts up everything into really small squares so you can pack weird resolution images perfectly
Lyou mean cutting a single texture into multiple parts, then stitching it back together when drawing?
KYas
Lthats the most cursed thing ive ever heard
Lalso that seems quite unnessesary
KWas mostly joking but now I'm imagining a packer that just cuts everything up into like 4x4 pixel squares for maximum perfect packing
Li mean you could but then your meshes are much larger
KOr even better, make it 8x8 pixel squares. You can call it the Cursed Forge packer :D
Li dont think the gains in memory would be worth the losses in performance
KWould probably be amazing tho for those dating sim games where FPS is just a thing you hear about in terms of how fluent the text shows up on screen
KMan I can't wait for C# AOT compiling to become "finalized"... the idea that I can finally make stuff that you can run on everything including those emulation handhelds... It's a very exciting prospect.
T... emulation handhelds?
LNativeAOT is already "finalized" it's part of the net7 sdk
Hsounds like CurseForge :v
Hdaym my mind still can't understand english jokes :v
KWas a refence to how basically all minecraft textures are 8x8
Hohh yeaa
Ttotally not mixing up minecraft with terraria
Tand associating with curseforge is a sin
KTo be fair terraria was basically 2D minecraft until they figured out minecraft was really boring lategame and added cool shit
Lstronk
KWtf
KThat's some hax optimization if I've ever seen any
Li no longer am doing huge amounts of texture copying/blending on the CPU through ImageSharp
Li skip that entirely now
Li pack the textures, then upload them to the GPU directly
Linstead of compositing on CPU
L1.5s -> 3ms
Lby being smarter i now have smaller textures, and it only bumped runtime from 3.3 -> 3.4ms
KAlso I just realized I absolutely HATE that pancake image
Lsize before smarter logic: 2446, 2446
size after smarter logic: 2426, 2230
size after smarter logic: 2426, 2230
KIs that the resolution of the tiled image?
Lyup
Tnow rotate sprites to make them fit the atlas better 
Lnever.
Lactually....
Lrotating by 90* intervals
Lwouldnt be too bad
