On Wednesdays I pay my debts #foss #premake

A merged GitHub PR for the Premake build tool

Description:

When following the instructions Building Premake on an Apple Silicon Mac the build fails due to the default architecture being x86.

This PR updates the documentation to inform Apple Silicon users to set PLATFORM when building, and adds a check to Bootstrap.sh which should detect Apple Silicon hardware and set PLATFORM automatically if not explicitly set by the user.

Today in my continued effort to NOT implement the Pacejka magic formula, I made some neat little AnimationCurves which I can sample instead :) #gamedev #indiedev

Working on gizmos again #gamedev #indiedev

I did a Lua implementation of a CLAY style UI layout system a few months ago. Today I ported most of the layout code to C++ Tbh I was really liking the lua version. Wish I had a bigger love2d project that warranted investing more time in it #gamedev

On the left, some C++ UI layout code. On the right is the layout rendered as coloured boxes.

Half a day later and I found the bug in my maths library that was causing the flickering shadow maps 🫠 I probably deserved it... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I think I figured out what my game is #gamedev #indiedev

Came home and added some simple linear fog after a long weekend with the fam. I've been working on some stuff in the background to support infinite worlds for the new direction I'm going in. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

uhm, slightly off topic, but I wrote a blog post. thope.xyz/2025/plumber

Today was a close call, but I have once again avoided paying for a cabin bag Got my MacBook with me, Windows builds are running on GitHub actions, the journey never stop #gamedev

Got packaging and notarizing Mac builds working from the command line with notarytool. Honestly this is much better than the old way with altool #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

$A git diff of a bash script showing the change from using altool to upload Mac apps for notarisation, to notarytool. The new script is much shorter: xcrun notarytool submit --team-id ${TEAM_ID} --apple-id ${UNAME} --password ${PASS} --verbose --wait --timeout 5m ${APP_NAME}.zip$

Feeling sick, but enjoying this in bed

A book. ‘The Making of Prince of Persia Journals 1985-1993’

Tried improving my GLSL workflow in sublime text with syntax highlighting + linting. Unfortunately the linting package needs a PR merged and glslangValidator.exe's --glsl-version flag appears to be broken... Still better than nothing #opengl

Whelp. Today I think I made a proof of concept vector class implementation with swizzles _without templates_ Instead it generates types with macros all with a 'common initial sequence' to avoid UB. Not saying it's a good ideas, but I think it works? github.com/thomashope/v...

I think I'm close to having enough gameplay to make a demo for the car game but feeling a bit stuck 😖 Instead I fixed up some maths code and debugged lighting in this old FPS test scene. Worth doing I guess #gamedev #indiedev

Nitrous drifting baybeee lets goooo #gamedev #indiedev
