could be working on my windows 95 game project

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:02 PM

Havent touched it since uhh..

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:02 PM

since I last touched it

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:03 PM

he's correct

khitiara•4/9/23, 10:03 PM

i could be working on my texture loading project or my vulkan wrapper project or my vorbig loading project but NO im here shitposting

FFurball could be working on my windows 95 game project

the dell laptop awaits your project
... once i can get that compact flash card working

Aqua•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

which it might actually be too large for FAT to work properly

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

compact FLESH card????

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

uh flash

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

Aqua•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

yes

khitiara•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

anyway if anyone wants help writing unnecessarily vectorized stuff in c# ping me i got you covered

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

how do i vectorize my life

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

things would be so much easier

khitiara•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

unfortunately i cant do that in c# so sorry

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:04 PM

AAqua *the dell laptop awaits your project* ... once i can get that compact flash card...

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:05 PM

Well it might need to wait a while until software rendering is implemented and working

Aqua•4/9/23, 10:05 PM

yeah it doesn't have a 3d accelerator lmfao

Perksey•4/9/23, 10:05 PM

i have gone from remaking sonic using silk.net 2.17 this weekend to "i'm going to start an ARM Cortex M0 emulator tomorrow"

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:05 PM

yep

Lyris the Kitori•4/9/23, 10:05 PM

technically software rendering is done with hardware so it's also hardware rendering

khitiara•4/9/23, 10:05 PM

also i did vectorize my life or at least my mind and it continues to be a source of problems, dont recommend it

raspberry pi pico emulator when?

Perksey•4/9/23, 10:06 PM

basically my other side project is a shader-like assembly language that i was going to use on my FPGA to essentially dynamically configure & orchestrate computations done by more performant & specialized blocks on the FPGA

Perksey•4/9/23, 10:06 PM

but i came to the conclusion i need to understand CPU design a bit better

Perksey•4/9/23, 10:06 PM

so i'm implementing an M0 emulator

Aqua•4/9/23, 10:06 PM

isnt a cpu just a thing that goes beep boop and things happen

Perksey•4/9/23, 10:07 PM

to quote rollie, it is a very fast hot rock that can do math

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:07 PM

I cannot understand HDLs

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:07 PM

My brain is neurologically not capable of processing any amount of VHDL or Verilog

Perksey•4/9/23, 10:07 PM

well you're connecting wires together instead of writing instructions

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:07 PM

i am of the firm belief that sand cannot do math

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:08 PM

Sand doing math is weird

Aqua•4/9/23, 10:08 PM

i mean technically cant you make logic gates out of literal sand

khitiara•4/9/23, 10:08 PM

sand cant do math. sand plus metal can do zappy things that humans can pretend is math

FurballOP•4/9/23, 10:08 PM

A big chunk of the world relies on sand being able to do math faster than humans

Aqua•4/9/23, 10:08 PM

you can make them out of water for sure

chairclr•4/9/23, 10:09 PM

#general-offtopic btw imho

Is there a call I can use to convert the pointer to the error message DebugMessageCallbackDebugMessageCallback is giving me into an actual dotNet string? Tried Encoding.UTF8.GetString((byte*) Unsafe.AsPointer(ref message), length);Encoding.UTF8.GetString((byte*) Unsafe.AsPointer(ref message), length); but it is choking with encoding errors

Machinarius•4/10/23, 1:41 AM

Trying to do what Khronos recommends on https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/OpenGL_Error to catch errors the easy (but expensive) way

OpenGL Error

Lyris the Kitori•4/10/23, 1:43 AM

SilkMarshal.PtrToString

Machinarius•4/10/23, 1:45 AM

~~Hmmm that seems to be returning a string representation of the pointer itself? I get 139814784783936~~

Lyris the Kitori•4/10/23, 1:45 AM

what?

Machinarius•4/10/23, 1:45 AM

I should really read the funciton signature

chairclr•4/10/23, 1:45 AM

lol

Machinarius•4/10/23, 1:46 AM

I am dum dum. I was WriteLine'ing the pointer, not the resolved string

Lyris the Kitori•4/10/23, 1:46 AM

Machinarius•4/10/23, 1:46 AM

It works, thank you!

Machinarius•4/10/23, 1:48 AM

Ended up with this little helper to enable debug output:

  public static unsafe void EnableDebugOutput(this GL gl) {
    gl.Enable(GLEnum.DebugOutput);
    gl.DebugMessageCallback((source, type, id, severity, length, message, param) => {
      var errorString = SilkMarshal.PtrToString(message);
      Console.WriteLine($"Message from OpenGL ({type}) with severity {severity}:");
      Console.WriteLine(errorString);
    }, null);
  }

  public static unsafe void EnableDebugOutput(this GL gl) {
    gl.Enable(GLEnum.DebugOutput);
    gl.DebugMessageCallback((source, type, id, severity, length, message, param) => {
      var errorString = SilkMarshal.PtrToString(message);
      Console.WriteLine($"Message from OpenGL ({type}) with severity {severity}:");
      Console.WriteLine(errorString);
    }, null);
  }

I am a bit stuck on tutorial 3.2, I am getting very different lighting outputs. My code seems to somehow calculate lighting for all faces, while the tutorial code is lighting only the face that is directly in front of the light

Machinarius•4/10/23, 2:51 AM

Tutorial

public static unsafe void EnableDebugOutput(this GL gl) { gl.Enable(GLEnum.DebugOutput); gl.DebugMessageCallback((source, type, id, severity, length, message, param) => { var errorString = SilkMarshal.PtrToString(message); Console.WriteLine($"Message from OpenGL ({type}) with severity {severity}:"); Console.WriteLine(errorString); }, null); }

could be working on my windows 95 game project
