Hey all, would anyone have tips on doing embedding of files (like textures) that would work both on desktop and android builds?
Nwho needs a window when you can just use an image 
Pthis is a great question. silk doesn't provide anything built-in today, so every dev will do their own thing. you could use embedded resources if you only have a few small assets, but otherwise you'll probably want to use
these can be accessed using AssetManager
AndroidAsset:these can be accessed using AssetManager
Pyou'll need to roll your own abstraction to pass to your xplat code, but that shouldn't be too difficult
IHey man thanks for the reply, duplicating my content include
Assets/**/*.* to AndroidAsset seems to make it be detected by the AssetManager. I think that does it for now, though if I could have that Assets folder exist in a shared assembly (i.e., one the Desktop entry point and the Android entry point can reference), that'd be nice. Would you happen to know about that too?PI don't think that's possible right now, the best you're going to get is to have an
Assets directory in some common path and reference that from both projects i.e. for the console/desktop app, <Content Include="../Assets/**/*.*" CopyToOutputDirectory="CopyIfNewer" CopyToPublishDirectory="CopyIfNewer" />; and for Android <AndroidAsset Include="../Assets/**/*.*" />II'll give that a shot a bit later then, i'll let you know if that works. Very much appreciated on this, I've had a very poor time finding documentation on how to do this, so thank you!
Pyeah some of the .NET for Android SDK interactions aren't that well documented, but happy to be of help 
IYeah for sure, I've done some crazy stuff and figured out weird APIs but .NET Android stuff it's like it may as well not exist
IJust keep getting Xamarin stuff that I know is outdated
IHey that seemed to solve most of the problems, thanks again!
One other thing left to do which is making some of the libraries target .NET 8 and .NET 8 Android so I can use Android specific code for certain things.. fun times

IComing back to this, got a new open question.
I've got the following
in my .csproj for the android project, but when I do this particular syntax it removes all folder structure and adds everything from Content into the base. Calling

AssetManager.List(""); gives me the 3 defaults plus my 14 assets instead of the 3 defaults + the content folder.

TI LOVE VORONOI PATTERNS WOOOO
Tthat looks great!!!!!

Adear god what have i done
Ai aint stopping until i have at least 50 of the same fucking cube on screen at once
SHeh. Starting to lay out foundations for my renderer.
SMy engine can do that... at the expense of 500mb vram per camera lmao
SI need to properly implement image aliasing for post processing
Qwhy should it hurt performance if I reference the
Dictionary object as its interface type IDictionary
QVisual studio is telling me to use the implementation type for "better performance" but I don't quite see why
Pvirtual calls
Pif you use the concrete type, the dictionary APIs are non-virtual which means that no vtable lookup is needed
Pthe JIT can elide vtable lookups occasionally, and PGO also kicks in after a while in practice, but all of these are inconsistent optimisations that it's better to do the right thing for in the first instance anyway
Qah thanks - seems sensible
Qrow major order >>>>>>>>>>> column major order
QI don't know who had the (not so very) great idea at W3 to specify matrices in column major order but it's annoying
Qthank you.
P@jan Peli setting up mastodon atm. setup the server, added webfinger to my root domain to redirect to the subdomain, how do I make this actually useful?
Plike how do i make this actually function as a social media app haha
Pand federate etc
Ljoin proxies, follow lots of people
Land be ready to add dozens of servers to your blocklist
Pwhat's with the whole "pending follow" thing
Lsome people have it setup so they can approve follows
Pis it a server setting too?
Pit's currently happened with everyone i've tried to follow
Pother than social.kernel.org haha
Lmaybe, not sure
Li got rid of my mastodon server
Phmmmm I might just move to mastodon.social
Pthis doesn't seem worth it
