Hello, human(!) artist! If you do pixel art and would like to try fit into 640x480 256-color VGA constraints, then lets talk :) I'm afraid I'm out of my depth here with what I want to make art-wise. Including a rough mockup of what I'm thinking. Fixed landscape, units, portraits, UI. NO AI!

Been getting back into my raycaster C project. Trying to improve the level builder API, so it's a bit more granular and could be recomposed, customised and macrofied as you like. As a nice refactor bonus, disjointed polygons can form a single sector. #programming #gamedev

Getting into more complicated components in my imgui Win 95 demo. Scrolling, then resizing and estimating the scrollbar size and position afterwards is going to be interesting.. Saving grace in this one is that it's scrolling lines, not pixels. #cprogramming

The whole of rnicrosoft windooze 95. Calculator is WIP. Why am I building this? No idea... but it's fun!

Needed to unwind a little after work. Coded up this "About" window in my mock Windows 95 project 🥳 Come help me build it: github.com/eigenlenk/CIG

It's just really cool that it works! Just sitting here and grinning.

After a major rewrite of sector clipping, there is now sector clipping! github.com/eigenlenk/ra...

We can talk gamedev or programming in general. Also interested seeing and hearing what others are working on.

This was predictably complicated, but sector intersections/subtractions seem to work! You just define a bunch of polygons and the builder does the rest. github.com/eigenlenk/ra...

As I have some time, decided to revive and release some of my older projects. This one is based on the raycaster I worked on a few years ago. There's no texturing or sprite support yet. Just the basic structure, this time with parallel rendering support thanks to OpenMP. github.com/eigenlenk/ra...

Simple things are sometimes quite fun! 🪟9️⃣5️⃣ Check out the GitHub page if you want to learn what it is and maybe contribute a feature of your own? I'd love to see Calculator or similar getting built in here. github.com/eigenlenk/cig Next up: Scrollbars, probably. Maybe. #programming #retro #imgui

Collapsing bridges and star bubbles - Cats on Broombas have learned a few new tricks on this fine Screenshot Saturday! 🙀

In a move I'm not sure anyone could've seen coming, least of all me, it's been decided that cats just cannot be trusted enough with the Broomba, and apparently it's up to man's best friend "the dog" I'm told by the focus group. So I'm here to announce Dogs On Broombas. Thank you.

Jotted down a game idea from last nights dream. (Thanks to @foone.bsky.social for providing a great tool!)

I think the new Indy game would complete a sort of a journey for me - in both of these cases I remember thinking it's the most realistic looking computer game I've seen and it cannot possibly get any better.

Some of the filming locations still exist here in Tallinn (and outside it.) Should probably watch it again. Only seen it once, much younger when I didn't really grasp it.

This took some effort to get the objects "falling down" to clip against the environment AND perform okay on even a 386 (33 Mhz or so), but I think it works now. I should get myself an old MS-DOS / Win 3.1 laptop or something (if anyone has one to sell, DM me!) #msdos #gamedev #programming #c

Currently optimizing the drawing code to only redraw stuff intersecting the areas marked as "dirty" by moving objects (or particles in this case.) The rest of the image buffer stays unchanged. The goal is to make sure it runs on a 386 :) #msdos #gamedev #programming

My search-fu is currently failing me. What is this sort of algorithm called? 🤔

Hello! My name is Eigen and I attempt to make games. Mostly very retro. Let's be friends!
