/g/ - Technology

started working on it today.

Will be posting on further developments in this thread.

Cool

how will you be going about building a library

What purpose would it serve

>>1(OP)

keep up the good work techjhoomer

I am basically building upon the voronoi program I already built, I posted about it the multiple threads I made earlier on the previous version of bhach.

Everything is rendered pixel by pixel and the executable generates a ppm file containing the image.

I already implemented certain primitives such filling up the canvas, generating and filling circles etc.

I am going to expand them, and add more primitives, such as rectangle for example, rendering a Triangle is a major task.

The whole thing will made into a library - All in pure C without any turd party dependencies - atleast for now.

I have learned a lot in last few weeks, the whole learn by building meme is unironically true.

>>1(OP)

what's the usecase?

>>10

Mostly learning purposes

>>11

I mean the library is useable but I plan to eventually rewrite the whole thing in Swift and use Metal API to execute it on my laptop's GPU instead.

Basically I will make an app

>reinvent the wheel

good if you are learning

bad if you want to build something. You are wasting time. Time is valuable.

>>1(OP)

Yaar how do you come with ideas and do you build everything on your own or will use some resource for reference

>>120

It's a mix of following certain books related to graphics development, general programming books, youtube, 4chan /g/ etc other online resources.

for example I got the idea to generate ppm images from a Rust programming books, it had a project where a mandelbrot set visualisation was built.

Just like many others my interest in programming largely emerged from my love of computer gaming, as a result I was always interested in knowing how GPUs work etc.

>>115

It's a learning exercise sirs.

I am going to build a raytracer next.

you simply need to spend a lot of time on particular thing, that is the only way.

What are you using as graphics api?

Vulkan/opengl/dx
