I tried different techniques and finishes but basically: rust removal, sanding, bluing, linseed-oil for metal parts and sanding+linseed-oil/wax for wood. Also made some new handles for some of the hammers.

After a couple of months, my hobby project of restoring old hammers from my woordworkers ancestors has come to an end. Really enjoyed it! 🔨

Time to look for a new hobby project (no tech-related)! Recommendations? 🤔

raylib running on Anbernic RG35XX Plus game console. 100 animated 3d character instances running at +40 fps! 😮

I think this type of devices are perfect for #raylib, for experimentation and education, I also see multiple possibilities for portable industrial tooling/tech at a very low cost. 🚀

For the last weeks I've been restoring some hammers, really enjoyed it! 💯

It was great to disconnect from technology for some hours while handcrafting some metal and wood tools! Recommended experience! ⚒️

My testing doc was Don Quixote, ~2M letters, I keep an array of UTF-8 chars and decode codepoints on traversal, not the most efficient solution but it worked great. But I was very careful on drawing, avoid processing/drawing anything outside screen limits.

I got an unreleased project, a text editor module (actually used on my rTexViewer tool for the shaders editor). My approach was splitting text by lines, keeping lines ptrs and other info. Every text insert/removal I update the lines, but still has some issues...

You can take a look to raygui, GuiTextBox() control, far from perfect but it's a start...

On this day, 12 years ago, I asked on official OpenGL forums for a simple and easy-to-use library to put graphics on screen.

I got no answer so I created #raylib.🚀

My father, grandfather and afaik all my ancestors were woodworkers, handcrafters, they worked with basic tools and created beautiful things. I did not follow the family tradition... but instead I enjoy handcrafting code.

Compiled some hammers I found in my workshop, I'm restoring some of them... ♥️

New feature for rKeyGen, my license-keys generator tool: **image-licenses**!!! 🤯

The image contains the encrypted license data (red pixels); it also exposes license info to detect pirated copies of the software; it also adds a QRCode for online validation when required! 😱

Hey! raylib surpassed the 250K downloads on GitHub, only from Releases! 🤯

And not considering GitHub clones and downloads from other platforms!

It seems C is popular again! 🚀
