    Setting up your GDExtension with CMake and Qt Creator

    Second post about GDExtensions. In this follow-up I focus on the specificities of building them using CMake instead of SCons, and some of the options and pitfalls along that way. I also talk about setting up a C++ IDE, Qt Creator, to help you deploy and debug your GDExtension project and point to a great…

    Bringing C++ to Godot with GDExtensions

    After playing with Godot within its own rules, I decided to check out what is the experience of bringing in external C++ code into a Godot project through their GDExtensions system. Using it, I bring over two different implementations of toyBrot into a regular Godot project. One with C++ threads and another with OpenCL, pushing…

  • nVidia performance round 2: Ampere, Wayland vs X11, AMD Navi

    nVidia performance round 2: Ampere, Wayland vs X11, AMD Navi

    After looking at a LOT of numbers for my Maxwell Titan, I go back and do some additional checking: How does CUDA behave on a newer card? Does AMD suffer as much from running graphics on the same card? If graphics do matter, does X11 vs Wayland make any difference? How about we run even…

    If you want performance, maybe you should drop CUDA​

    After having forced onto solely my nVidia Titan, I take a look, investigating why the performance is so much worse than I remember. Is newer CUDA just planned obsolence? Is CUDA itself just bad? Maybe the graphics card REALLY hates having to do graphics? Join me as I collect all of the numbers and chart…

    GMM Dec/23 part 2 – Saving and loading in the web

    Second part of December 2023’s Godot Mini Monthly After saving images from toyBrot, I now do it on the web. Not only this but I also added the ability to save and load “states” of the application, which you can even take between different versions. Being on the web means a lot more hoops to…

    GMM Dec/23 part 1 – Saving images from interactive toyBrot

    First part of my Godot Mini for December 2023. In this post I talk about adding screenshot saving functionality to interactive toyBrot. This includes file system access, introducing additional viewports and manipulating them to get the image parameters you want. This is all on desktop, laying a foundation for part 2 where I take this…

    Games? Nah. Godot ALL of the things

    In this post I go talk about my exploration of Godot as a general application framework. Mainly using Godot to write responsive GUIs with lots of controls and elements and whatnot

    Cartomancer and the threat of half-hearted features

    In this post I go over my experience writing the initial release of the Cartomancer library and its accompanying demo, Foreteller. In particular how I ended up in trouble due to both C++ and Qt having features I needed only half-implemented

    It was Godot that was waiting for me all along

    I talk a bit about my initial experiences with the Godot game engine and how it’s been learning it and using it for some introductory projects

    What do when OpenGL just hates multithreading?

    OpenGL will only accept calls from one thread in an application. This is about a work around this issue using C++ features such as template metaprogramming and std::packaged_tasks
