Binary Serialization in df_game_data A new blog post where I talk about how the binary serialization works. In particular, how static vs dynamic sized objects are handled to avoid special case limitations. blog.demofox.org/2026/10/15/b...

Binary Serialization in df_game_data

10 years ago, I wrote that game developers needed a game data middleware: I finally made that middleware, open sourced with an MIT license: While it doesn’t solve all the needs I called out i…

dear imgui 1.93.0 released! (123rd release!) github.com/ocornut/imgu... - ImDrawList rework w/ many improvements and fixes (e.g. inward/outward stroke pos, better thick strokes, AA ends, baked rounded corners & more) - mixed values, and 50+ other fixes/features.

Merged new ImDrawList code: - Topic: github.com/ocornut/imgu... - Wiki: github.com/ocornut/imgu... - Compare 1.92.9 vs 1.93: www.dearimgui.com/docs/drawlis... - TL;DR fixed many rendering inconsistencies. new features & optims. easier to create pixel perfect contents. cc @mikkomononen.bsky.social

df_game_data v1.0.0 released! github.com/Atrix256/df_... An editor and data compiler for read only game data in C++. Describe schemas using C style stucts, edit data in the editor, compile data to make a .bin file and a generated .h, use the .h to load the .bin in your code, make your game.

Very interesting animation tool shown at Blender con: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2J_... So cool to see the presenter getting zoned it while noodling around with the tool.

Reminder: looking for feedback on ImDrawList improvements slated for 1.93, see post below. If you make extensive use of draw primitives and/or have dealt with careful positioning, pixel-perfect shapes, etc trying this in your project and reporting would be nice!

I just released an extension to stb_truetype that allows you to render COLRv0/1 glyphs, (e.g. emojis). codeberg.org/memononen/co... 1k5 loc, header only, a bit clunky, but gets the job done.

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

I recently completed my PhD thesis, where I developed algorithms for making geometric inferences from imperfect data (i.e. incomplete and inaccurate observations/representations of shapes, like broken meshes or point clouds). A thread 🧵:

I'm soft-launching my compiler project minc today. It compiles directly to minimal native executables for x64 Windows (PE), x64/ARM64 Linux (ELF), ARM64 macOS (Mach-O), ARM64 iOS, ARM64 Android (.so), and WASM. See minc.dev

I'm looking for examples of editors where you can select multiple objects, and batch edit some kind of array. How does that work?

I have been working on data inheritance recently. The kind of stuff that you usually see with prefabs, but I believe that all the assets should support data inheritance.

Here's a write-up of my investigations into a technique called "Inertial Easing" - an interesting idea on how to use easing functions for spring-damper-like applications. theorangeduck.com/page/inertia...

Hell yeah! Technically that one’s a Zoo, I gave a talk about them at GodotFest last year: youtu.be/uNyswn-Oct0?...

Links... links are special. Usually you pick the text style from the previous character, so that if you write something after a bold text, it will be bold. Except links, where the style does not "bleed". It's ok to type in the middle, though.

I have been working recently on input rules for the skribidi editor. Stuff like: - what happens when you press enter after a header - automatically starting a list when you start a line with -, - or stuff like keeping the tabs in taps when typing code (who uses spaces, anyways!)

So nice to finally get to the actual rich text editing, not just the stuff that enables it. Still ways to go, but baby steps. There's a lot of rich text editing tricks to discover, like that when you press enter after a header, you will automatically get body text style.

I've been working on paragraph styling support for skribidi. My goal is to support roughly markdown for the rich text rendering and editing. I'm trying my best to not make things complicated. For example I really would like to avoid adding hierarchy to the text.

For the past weeks I have been writing and refactoring things to get rich text editing to work in Scribidi. It's so close now. There are always tons of small details, like changing the caret to preview the italic/oblique.

I kinda wish the situation around char32_t was not such a mess. <looking at you macos and flipping a birdie>

The hardest part about rich text editing so far has been trying to remember that you have to actually have bold, italic and bold+italic fonts loaded if you want to see them bold and italics. Gladly harfbuzz has embolden and slant so that I can fake it.

There's still heaps to do, but...

I've been looking a nice representation of style spans for the Skribidi rich text editor. Something that let's me store info: "from here to there text is bold". It should also support combining such spans using add or remove a span. And I wanted it to be "not much more complex than bit vector".

I've been working on things that will allow users of Skribidi to create hyperlink or button kind of interactions. The biggest struggle is how to make things simple. I dont want to include an UI library in the text library (that would be another project). But it should not be too hard either.

I have been working on inline objects for Skribidi. Things like icons and stuff that you want to embed in the text. This merited another visit to the vertical text alignment rabbit hole. A lot of frustration and hopefully a solution.

I have been working on text alignment, wrapping and overflow for Skribidi. It's been pretty hard to find a good reference since the CSS in that area does not feel very solid to me. Ended up with some parts of CSS and some parts of Figma.

Any caveas using symlinks on Windows? Context: In the Skribidi project, I have a set of assets that the example needs (fonts, etc). Currently they are copied to the bin folder in windows, and symlink on other systems. I wonder if there's something with Windows symlinks that will say meh?

Sum types have been in the lime light recently. Is there a lang where the user (of a library) can "append" to a sum type?
