Currently in a unit testing phase for the WebGPU migration. WgpuWindow done! Only ~15% to go!

Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @kdcoder.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Rendering ellipse & rect primitives are working with the WebGPU migration! All of the major features are working as well. Just a ton of cleanup, review, unit tests, and busy work to do. Next version of Velaptor is going to be amazing!

Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @kdcoder.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Velaptor now has a new logo! You will not see this little guy throughout the docs, in the GitHub project, and in the sample projects. 😆

Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @kdcoder.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Velaptor, CASL, and Carbonate now build for all operating systems for every change. Cross-platform here we come!

Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @kdcoder.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

So I was using IMGUI for rendering UI for testing purposes and for users, but I cannot use IMGUI anymore due to the WebGPU migration. So I am building my own simple UI library! Users will be able to create UI applications with Velaptor!

Volume in #casl is a simple 0 to 100 scale. No confusing float ranges or decibel math. Set it and forget it. 💪 🔗 github.com/KinsonDigita... #dotnet #gamedev

So I have been using deepseek. The costs are insanely cheap. And it has been working great! I have been getting good results, and it is so fast. I will admit, deepseek does not take in images though, and I think it is in the works, but so far, the cost for what you get? wow

Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @kdcoder.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Whoo hoo! Another Velaptor release is brewing!

Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @kdcoder.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Wtf? Is this a thing on GitHub now? What is drive-by grab and issue and ask for money? 1. This is infrastructure-related, I will take care of this 2. He did not contact me and ask if it was ok to pick this up, he just did it. 3. Then has the nerve to ask me for money?
