The ios app landscape e.g. 5 years ago seemed much more resilient to apps being rarely or infrequently updated than today.

Ended up pushing this: (It's merely two heuristics so I might tell if a user making a bug report has asserts disabled. Not exposing full stringified version because it often contains absolute __FILE__ path, nor full length to reduce noise.) github.com/ocornut/imgu...

C/C++: Looking for suggestion for a way to sensibly detect if an assert macro was defined to emit no code (e.g `#define IM_ASSERT(_EXPR) (void)0`) in order to report it in my config/build info blob. In a portable way. It doesn't need to be perfect, only generally reliable...

- An hour debugging a shader gamma loss issue that turned out to be an auto-dimmed Xbox that I didn't touch the controller on for a few minutes - A few days debugging my GUS XM player skipping the first half a second of any tune that turned out to be my speaker wake-up latency after going standby.

- Spends 10 minutes investigating a weird highlighting issue. - Realizes that there's a pile of stuff sitting over the rarely used game controller stashed somewhere in a drawer, but connected. A button was held pressed.

Bit far-fetched, but I created a topic to gather links/videos of software using the Dear ImGui Test Engine for automation: github.com/ocornut/imgu... If you happen to use this somewhere would be nice to drop a word of a capture! (pictured in video: Wonderland Engine wonderlandengine.com)

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week. For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018: youtu.be/90vqCKEEj3s

An additional tax on millionaires in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state. The money is being used to fund bridge repairs, literacy programs and public transport. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nothing scream more friendly and future-proof than webgpu.h having no define for a version number, nor any comments of that sort, and being unable to distinguish if it is a WGPU or Dawn header and implementation.

Emscripten users: are you generally/often up to date, or is your app/product occasionally stuck on older versions, for whichever reason?

🚀We're super happy to announce that the demo for Adorable Adventures is now live on Steam 🙌 steampowered.com/app/4006020/ Have a look, play, and let us know what you think of our adorable hero Boris 🐗. If you like it, help us out with a wishlist: steampowered.com/app/3840230/

I used to dislike maintaining the Vulkan backend because most requests/PR were confusing to me. But it turns out that WebGPU - which used to feel nice - is such a fast moving platform w/ WGPU, Dawn, Emscripten vs Native support, no binaries for Dawn, etc. that it's currently taking the crown.

People of the future, rejoice! There is now dear imgui renderer for this fangled new graphics API... *cough*... DirectX7! github.com/AndenDev/D3D...

Did we just upload our demo to Steam? Are we excited? Oh yes. 🤞 🤞🤞 We are so looking forward to putting the game in the hands of players! Those are the BEST moments. Seeing people play what you made. #gamedev #indiegame

i started to make a live coding environment for myself! its currently basically shadertoy but on my mac with compiled c for the audio. its not a particularly unique wheel, but it's *my* wheel, so I am mostly experimenting with the details to see what makes me feel productive & creative.

🌸We love using traditional methods to make content for our games. So we used watercolor painting for our in-game icons. We hope discovering these is as much fun as we had making them🎨🖌️ #Indiegames #watercolorpainting #wishlistwednesday

I'm very excited about C++26 reflection. However, people underestimate what you can achieve *today*! Inspired by Barry Revzin's awesome "Practical Reflection" talk at @cppcon.bsky.social I wrote automatic Dear #imgui generation for structs, including labels! (via Boost.PFR) #cpp #gamedev

Dear ImGui 1.92.3 released! github.com/ocornut/imgu... - InputTextMultiline() word-wrapping. - Misc scaling/DPI helpers fixes on backends for Linux X11/Wayland/OSX. - 20+ other fixes or small additions (fonts, navigation, inputtext, debug tools, etc.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I've lived in D.C. for the better part of two decades. Nearly my whole adult life. Something folks aren't talking about--a giant elephant in the room--is the amount of "brand protection" going on right now. I don't mean fear of Trump or political persecution, although those can overlap. (thread)

Stumbled on a 8 mins version of this groovy 1978 electro track on a radio and the best I could find elsewhere was a 3:30 version of it on YouTube: youtu.be/w8YYsFMYPVk?...

Pushed a much requested ImGuiInputTextFlags_WordWrap flag to public API for multi-line word-wrapping editor. There's zero caching and it's rather slow for my taste (on my 2019 desktop, for a 100 KB text buffer: +~0.3 ms optimized, +~1.0 ms debug). Cost is roughly proportional to buffer size.

Ultimately, when people with power say "violence is unacceptable" - they mean "violence against us is unacceptable", nothing more, nothing less. It foregoes that violence for those with power tends to come from greed, and violence against them tends to come from need.

Speeding up the Unreal Editor launch by … not spawning 38000 tooltips (a gigabyte!!)? #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #UnrealEngine

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.” walzr.com/IMG_0001 this is beautiful 🥲

Billion-dollar business idea: manufacture an alarm clock that has a forced random component. So if you set your alarm to 8:00 it might decide to wake you up earlier, or later, or not at all.

Vanity post: the top 5 starred C++ repository have much higher star count, but between no 10 and no 13 (dear imgui) there's only about ~1200 stars difference, meaning it might eventually get into _that_ top 10 🎉 github.com/search?l=C%2...

She doesn’t need a hero, she is the hero we need. 🤩

just to echo what everyone is saying -- I don't think it's useful to yell at itch. if you burn them out, they can't negotiate effectively with stripe etc. let them have time and space to figure it out

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

MA put in a 4% millionaires tax 2 years ago, & the GOP said we'd miss revenue targets & millionaires would flee. MA collected TWICE the projected revenues, & the number of millionaires went UP 40%. www.wbur.org/news/2025/04...

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

This is incredible
