it's clearly going to be tough one today

PPerksey wow my first cup of tea of the day has just evaporated

18 percent of americans are on opioids

Aqua•10/18/23, 8:02 PM

87.5% of facts are made up

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:25 PM

hmm question

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:25 PM

which api do people prefer?

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:26 PM

let texture = Texture2D::new(&graphics, "path");

let texture = Texture2D::new(&graphics, "path");

let texture = graphics.create_texture_2d("path");

let texture = graphics.create_texture_2d("path");

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:26 PM

implementation is the same, its just style at this point

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:26 PM

i'm torn between them

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:27 PM

i'm kinda leaning towards the first as it seems a bit more concise but

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 9:32 PM

i prefer the latter

PerkseyOP•10/18/23, 9:33 PM

it's only 1 character extra as well haha

Aqua•10/18/23, 9:33 PM

hmmmmm

Maxine•10/18/23, 10:05 PM

the second one has better separation of concerns

Maxine•10/18/23, 10:05 PM

the texture belongs to the graphics, not the other way around

khitiara•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

yup

Aqua•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

yeah good points

Aqua•10/18/23, 10:09 PM

i'll do that then

Aqua•10/18/23, 10:10 PM

i've since revised my planned api in the meantime so this sort of

create_x

create_x

api makes a lot more sense now

Aqua•10/19/23, 12:36 AM

also creating a safe wrapper around d3d11 while i'm at it

Aqua•10/19/23, 12:37 AM

yes, these functions should be returning results, i will add that later

Aqua•10/19/23, 12:41 AM

etc

Hey everyone! I'm working on adding a bit of UI into my game and engine and I've found FontStashSharp, and thanks to previous questions I've found quite a few answers and got it running, but, I'm curious if anyone knows a way to set it to be bottom left origin instead of top left? I'd prefer to keep +Y up if possible? I'm not the strongest with matrix math but if there's some transform I can apply during the DrawQuad callback in IFontStashRenderer2 or maybe a setting or something I'm missing?

AArconus Hey everyone! I'm working on adding a bit of UI into my game and engine and I've...

PerkseyOP•10/19/23, 4:56 PM

that'd probably be most unusual given that iirc FontStashSharp operates in screen (px) coordinates, i find it's usually better to keep the UI and content distinctly separate there for sanity (seeing as they are two separate things)

if you did want to do that though, there's many ways you can go about it. you can flip it in the shader i.e.

-    gl_Position = MatrixTransform * vec4(a_position, 1.0);
+    gl_Position = (MatrixTransform * vec4(a_position, 1.0))) * vec4(1, -1, 1, 1);

-    gl_Position = MatrixTransform * vec4(a_position, 1.0);
+    gl_Position = (MatrixTransform * vec4(a_position, 1.0))) * vec4(1, -1, 1, 1);

or subtract all of your coordinates from the viewport extent
or change the ortho projection matrix so that it does this for you
...lots of options

note that it's been ages since i've done graphics programming so this info may be inaccurate

khitiara•10/19/23, 4:58 PM

id do the second option of modifying the coords or else some matrix math on that draw op

PerkseyOP•10/19/23, 5:02 PM

the ortho projection is probably the dead easiest

Arconus•10/19/23, 5:26 PM

Ah, thank you! So when you say keep UI and content separate you mean have all UI render with a top left origin, but 2D game content/sprites/etc use a +Y up coordinate system?

AArconus Ah, thank you! So when you say keep UI and content separate you mean have all UI...

PerkseyOP•10/19/23, 5:30 PM

yeah. UI is fundamentally rendered on top of your game (not part of the game itself), so it makes sense for it to be implemented that way in most cases.

Arconus•10/19/23, 5:32 PM

Thanks again! Definitely some food for thought here

PPerksey stick those in your bin/Debug directory

Cosmin Cretu•10/19/23, 10:35 PM

this just helped me fix my project on zorin os, thank you sir!

Aqua•10/20/23, 10:20 PM

couldn't think of a good example for fatal errors so did the next best thing

Aqua•10/20/23, 10:20 PM

i am mostly writing these comments because i always forget which log type to use because i am stupid

Aqua•10/20/23, 10:21 PM

and as such i am telling the compiler to throw warnings on anything i do not add documentation to

dfkeenan🍍🍕•10/21/23, 12:37 AM

I have a problem.

I got the WGSL grammar BNF and I am considering writing a parser so I can do "code reflection".
