Decided to update latest releases of x65 (65xx assembler) and IceBro Lite (#C64 VICE debugger) after some fixes and a long time since last release: github.com/Sakrac/IceBr... github.com/Sakrac/x65/r...

Release CMake builds, Sokol Backend · Sakrac/IceBroLite

IceBro Lite release notes Here’s a polished GitHub-style release summary you can paste into a release post: Highlights This release focuses on modernization, platform support, and a smoother debugg...

Small but important fix in the sokol_app.h Vulkan backend: window resizing was broken on Linux with NVIDIA drivers because of incomplete error handling after vkAcquireNextImageKHR. Details in the changelog: github.com/floooh/sokol... Also std disclaimer: the Vulkan backend is still experimental!

I've posted my first MinerMancers dev log! Finally! 😄 Do let me know what you'd like to hear about next, if you have a preference. If a particular subject gets more requests I'll be sure to prioritise it. Hope you enjoy! youtu.be/-wdz4vMpIzA

You can live-edit a smaller box3d demo here, if you want to play around with the source code without downloads: minc.dev/playground/g...

Minor but important fix in sokol_imgui.h (Dear ImGui renderer backend on top of sokol_gfx.h) for Dear ImGui version 1.92.9: github.com/floooh/sokol...

New blog post. Box3D is getting faster. box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

Hi! Just published raygui 5.0, my C single-file header-only immediate-mode UI library for tools development, used by all my raylibtech tools. 🛠️ This release includes new controls, up to 512 icons, 6 new UI styles and many more improvements! 💯 Free and open-source: github.com/raysan5/rayg...

Ok, new sokol+box3d integration sample is out: floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/... Had to disable WASM SIMD last minute because of a LLVM/Clang regression in emsdk 6.0.3 (will investigate and write a ticket later). Also comes with a breaking sokol_shape.h update: github.com/floooh/sokol...

My toy cycle-stepped Z80 emulator now appears to be used for proper science stuff, complete with arxiv paper and all :D github.com/vicgalle/coe... (more info github.com/floooh/chips...)

Tinkering with Box3D + Sokol + Emscripten :) Box3D is *fun* to work with, very simple and straightforward C API, and very configurable (this is simd + single-threaded). New sokol-sample will be up in one or two days.

Made a backend for Dear ImGui for Sega Dreamcast. I can’t believe it works. Sadly, I don’t have a mouse/keyboard for the Dreamcast, but once I do, it’s going to make this thing even more incredible. 😂

my #1 grizzly beard protip for (game) dev is: if you have a bug that you dont understand the cause of immediately, dont try to fix it; add & iterate visualization / inspection tools until the cause is plain to see. the accumulation of 'observability' in your system's state will pay off many times

Ok, new sokol update: sokol_app.h now allows much more control over swapchain configuration.. Many more details in the changelog: github.com/floooh/sokol... Sample webpage is *NOT* yet updated (e.g. the links in the changelog don't work), because Github CI is broken (again...)

I'm very happy to see that Box3D, the physics engine I've been lucky enough to use with Space Game for more than a year, is open source today. Congrats @erincatto.bsky.social box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

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've wanted to get back into making fun little games, and as a stepping stone, here's Solitaire. Plays in the browser, should play well on phone/tablet, saves your state automatically. Hope it works ok for you. olafurw.com/games/solita...

Reminder that the coding help I need the most for Dear ImGui are related to tech that are foreign to me: Vulkan, OSX, Metal, Android, Linux. Many open issues/pr, need quality brain time, design time, explanations & reviews to close topics rather that have more opened: github.com/ocornut/imgu...

was going to QA a new release today but got sidetracked into shader live reloading. work in progress, available in next release.

Fixed a lingering bug in the sokol_app.h Linux backend: sapp_get_clipboard_string() could return a nullptr on Linux in case of error or an empty clipboard (it's supposed to return an empty string instead): github.com/floooh/sokol...

Tinkered a bit in the 'visual cpu remix' tools so that the mouse wheel zoom is centered on the mouse pointer (also fixed a Dear ImGui debug assert that slipped through when updating to some recent Dear ImGui version) z80: floooh.github.io/visualz80rem... 6502: floooh.github.io/visual6502re...

Nice example of C++ adding entirely new and interesting footguns on top of what it inherited from C ;) (apparently a missing return statement has become Undefined Behaviour in C++)

Holy crap, clang in C++ mode is *evil*! godbolt.org/z/hM7W1WPsE gcc at least puts a `ud2` in there...

The experimental sokol_app.h Vulkan backend now properly handles the case that the swapchain cannot be created because the reported surface width and height are 0 (the Intel Vulkan Windows driver refuses to create a swapchain object in that case). github.com/floooh/sokol...

This is seriously awesome :)

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

Ok, new sokol-sample for Slug text rendering is out! This has been ported from this Odin sample with some quick'n'dirty improvements (most notably: batching for glyphs) tangled.org/dosha.dev/so... WebGL2 sample: floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/... ...and WebGPU: floooh.github.io/sokol-webgpu...

Porting an "Odin+Sokol+Slug" text rendering demo by GH user AlfayezDev back to C for inclusion in the regular sokol samples. Currently not very efficient (e.g. there's preprocessing of TTF data happening at runtime which should better go into an offline tool).

Ok, new sokol header "sokol_framebuffer.h" is out, along with two new samples: floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/... floooh.github.io/sokol-html5/... ...more infos in the changelog: github.com/floooh/sokol... Enjoy!

Changes for moving doom-sokol to sokol_framebuffer.h (not released yet), quite happy with the result :) github.com/floooh/doom-... Link to updated WASM demo: floooh.github.io/doom-sokol/

I take no pleasure in reinventing the wheel, but was sufficiently frustrated that Windows Magnifier was so slow to open/close and had usability issues (tried several other ones which had issues too), so I wrote my own in-app magnifier to inspect rendering issues.

Preview of what a simple sokol_framebuffer.h program will look like (a software plasma renderer): github.com/floooh/sokol...

Inspired by @sebaaltonen.bsky.social's "No Graphics API", I've written a GPU pointer-centric bindless wrapper on Vulkan+Metal. Still in rough shape, but I've written about it here: www.kevin-gibson.com/blog/writing...
