I made my first game dev YouTube video about a game I made. youtu.be/RMcrB_NhMSs

Let me know if you beat my high score.

Taking the time to learn, build, and write yourself, instead of having AI do it for you, is about to become a career hack.

Been working on an animation tool where multipass shaders are first class citizens.

This is a path tracing gi shader that uses jump flood and distance field for circle marching.

The little windows give a glimpse of how it's working under the hood (jump flood and distance field).

I opened sourced my love2d live coding lsp github.com/jasonjmcghee...

Had much less free time than usual over the last few months so I've been quiet here, but had some time yesterday and put together a radiance cascades ASCII renderer for traditional roguelikes as per a request from a user in the discord.

All the code is non-minified etc.

Sneak peek

I had no idea what was causing this, but life has dramatically improved. You can disable predictive text- it's a keyboard setting on macos. Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know that...

Incremental tree-sitter + Cranelift JIT for a wildly over-engineered real-time basic calculator.

Experimented with "evaluate selected code in-place" and (and undo/redo from the running window). the result is that i can use code (like the mouse position) and evaluate it to place (or re-place) things.

If it's too small to see - "placing it" converts the variables to the evaluated numeric form.

Made an in-app code presenter for my live playground, synced with vs code, works across files - no more hand-animating code blocks. (i'm using a color palette picker here to change sky radiance tint)

what if you could just modify running programs and transparently see all variables both in real time (notice how fast mouse coordinates update when I mouse over)

It's lua + LSP based and have tested it successfully in vs code and zed.

Improved jump flood seed creation to play better with fonts and added sky radiance

Now add global illumination (rio + radiance cascades)

Vanilla radiance cascades global illumination on an m1 air in real time in love2d. This is about the simplest implementation - so no ringing fixes.
