Q1K3, an homage to Quake in 13kb of JavaScript: phoboslab.org/q1k3/
Thanks to @NoFateNet for the music <3
- Lossless Image Compression in O(n) Time — introducing QOI, the Quite OK Image Format. 300 lines of C, single header library: phoboslab.org/log/2021/11/qo…
- My wipEout rewrite only works with OpenGL, but I set up the code in a way to potentially support other rendering backends. To test whether this actually works, I implemented a very bare-bones wireframe software renderer. Almost playable!
- I'm rewriting my 14 year old "Impact" JavaScript game engine... in C. No reason. Just a lot of fun.
- Fiddling with the leaked WipEout source. It may not look like much, but getting this thing to compile and run on x86-64 was a royal pain. Rendering is in OpenGL, but all transforms still in software, hence the wobbliness.
- Play the original wipEout in your browser: phoboslab.org/wipegame/ Also check out the in-depth "Making-of" in my blog: phoboslab.org/log/2023/08/re…
- Now running with buttery smooth 3800 fps. Still lot's of room for improvement, but I think I'll leave it at that.
- The specification for the QOI format for lossless image compression has been finalized! It fits on a single-page PDF. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen! phoboslab.org/log/2021/12/qo…
- At last, here's the final specification of the Quite OK Audio Format, along with some benchmark results: phoboslab.org/log/2023/04/qo…
- For a fixed size array of objects, you can maintain two arrays of pointers to keep track of active/free ones. Seems a bit easier (and more efficient?) than a linked list and is always O(1) unlike a scan through the objects array. Does this pattern have a name?
- Time Domain Audio Compression at 3.2 bits per Sample -- introducing QOA, the Quite OK Audio Format. 400 lines of C, single header library: phoboslab.org/log/2023/02/qo…
- It's almost 2025 and this is still the best way to inline a WASM module in JS :/
- At last, I published high_impact – a simple 2D game engine completely written in C. Please read “Porting my JavaScript Game Engine to C for No Reason” phoboslab.org/log/2024/08/hi…
- My C game engine expects you to define your entity struct _before_ you include parts of the lib. The struct has some required fields (with types from the lib), so you have to do a little dance to include everything. Which would you prefer?
