I'm happy to announce RGFW's remastered logo. Made with help from @regulatedninja.bsky.social and tsoding. You can access the vectorized version @ github.com/RSGL/logos

The pre-release for RGFW 1.8.0 is up on GitHub. The final release of 1.8.0 will be soon, I just want to make sure I can get as much bugs as possible caught and fixed. There have been a lot of changes since 1.7.0 and I want RGFW 1.8.0 to be the most solid release yet. github.com/ColleagueRil...

RGFW was the topic of the last tsoding stream! youtu.be/0rUBhqR6ckw?...

I spent the last few years building enik-engine, a lightweight C++ game engine with a custom editor, hot-reload scripting, physics, animation, prefabs, and more. Fast, small, and built for experimentation. Here’s a deep dive into how it works and the lessons I learned: hanion.dev/post/enik-en...

Update on my Linux situation if anyone is curious: After some thinking and research, I’ve decided to switch to Linux mint. It seems to be far more stable than pure Debian. Bluetooth audio is working and even certain features that were broken for me on regular Debian, like brightness, worked fine.

Recently Bluetooth audio updated for Linux which breaks support for full quality audio standards for my computer. This was while I was using Archlinux, so I decide to switch over to Debian 12 because Debian claims to be stable.

When doing research for OSX dev or Objective C you’ll find plenty of posts coming objective C is dead. As much as I wish that were true, it’s not. Objective C is the only way to access the MacOS api, Cocoa at the low level… or rather, the Objective C runtime library is the only way.

I've seen many 'crossplatform' single-header libraries that claim to support Linux/macOS/Windows, but internally they depend on SDL Couldn't you also claim your library supports Wii, and other embedded devices because of the SDL dependency?

I moved a lot of the RGFW/RSGL ports/bindings over to the RSGL organization. This is so that way community members who are using these projects can more easily maintain them. If you would like to be invited to the org, let me know. github.com/RSGL

Plenty of people wonder why smart people like OOP? Are they trying to trick us? Are they ignorant. The truth is OOP is very attractive because it's a principled approach to programming. But, the principles on am ideal view of how code ought to be rather than the data/problems we're working with.

If you find my work (RGFW, RSGL, RFont, articles, etc) useful, and you believe in the goal of building, reality-oriented foundations for better, quality software, consider sponsoring me on GitHub. I'm very grateful for the support I’ve received so far, it means a lot. 1/2 github.com/sponsors/Col...

While I believe X needs a replacement, I've been pretty open about my distaste for Wayland on many platforms. It comes to that Wayland's fundamental design is more focused on idealism than shipping quality software that works, and this has been proven with Wayland's development history.

The best part about using ‘outdated’ hardware is it gives you an appreciation for how bad software is, even on Linux. It motivates me to write well designed software and look for or create better alternatives.

RGFW hit 1000 stars on GitHub recently! It has been very exciting and unreal to watch my previously unknown project grow a community.

Someone made a Quake port with RGFW and miniaudio! It's awesome to see people making cool things with RGFW. Check it out on GitHub here: github.com/NishiOwO/qua...

RGFW 1.7.0 was released today with lots of bug fixes and more edge cases tested. github.com/ColleagueRil...

What's up with new languages pointing loc as a benefit? From what I've seen, they are usually able to achieve less LOC using their own standard library. That doesn't make the language better than C (for example), it makes the standard library (potentially) better than the C standard library.

Are you guys ready for cool RSGL 3D

Thread about 3D rendering with OpenGL NOTE: this is not the BEST or even the CORRECT way to do this. This is just the way I found works for me. The basics come down to this: Set up 3D vertices, create a perspective matrix, and apply the perspective matrix. github.com/ColleagueRil... (1 / X)

RGFW with Silk.h in Windows XP using w64devkit and Vim.

RGFW 1.6.0 was released today! Check it out on GitHub! github.com/ColleagueRil...

I recently got the original Lego Batman on Steam and found a bug where cutscenes have an awkward minute-long pause. Luckily this can be circumvented by having Steam force the game to be windowed. Then I made a hack/mod to make the window maximized/borderless. github.com/ColleagueRil...

Check out RGFW 1.5! It just released today on GitHub! :) github.com/ColleagueRil...

Wayland is the future, X is old and outdated. (Wayland after I leave it IDLE)

Programming in C hits different on Windows XP with Vim.

MacOS's low-level APIs tend to be pretty good ...ignoring Objective-C... When I tried to figure out how to handle controller input, I found that Apple's IOKit library was written in Pure C. I prefer XInput and Linux's joystick API, but this was a nice surprise.

My suite of simple-to-use stb-style libraries are on a sale!!! 🎄🤑 🤯

RGFW has 700 stars on github and is aiming for 1000! If you haven't already, show support with a star⭐! #C #cpp #opensource #FOSS #programming #lowlevel

One of my favorite C codebases to read through is EimaMei's Sili.h. The code is incredibly thoughtful, and it's a great learning resource. Highly recommend checking out his work on GitHub! github.com/EimaMei github.com/EimaMei/sili #C #lowlevel #programmingresource #opensource

Raylib 5.5 was released today! It includes many quality-of-life updates and a new alternative backend. My lightweight single-header windowing library, RGFW! Go try it out! 🦔
