what do you work on? have you tried making games?
Let's talk about graphics, Jow Forums

yes

i hate 3d graphics i think they're ugly. i wish i could into pixel art but i'm just not talented in that way.
i used opengl anyway. 3d is hard work and it never looks good anyway.
Carson Diaz
you need openGL for 2D or 3D graphics.
Bentley Bennett
i used opengl for 3d when i was working for a gayme company. i would rather just use the linux framebuffer (/dev/fb not drm) and draw pixel by pixel.
Justin Anderson
that sounds incredibly retarded
Eli Hill
Just use curses, text is comfy as fuck
Nathaniel Nguyen
Depends how you do the 3d
Landon Lee
You guys need to stop using OpenGL. Apple deprecated it.
Eli Hill
Install Vulkan
Evan Cooper
Xavier Nguyen
>apple
Sebastian Murphy
what other thing should be used then
Xavier Powell
You had a good point until
>Apple
If OpenGL is going to be deprecated, let the reason be Vulkan.
Andrew Stewart
i'm one of those people who can do a lot of the programming stuff alright but when it comes to actually getting a good game idea and making something genuinely creative with it i'm lost, and i'd rather not put out garbage by releasing something so i just treat it like a little side hobby thing
Nicholas Richardson
isn't immediate mode comfy?
Luis Barnes
Get employed then
Isaiah Ross
Reminder that people who run macOS are not real people and their platform will not be supported if OpenGL is dropped.
Thank you for you time.
Julian Rogers
Why would you use anything else for games?
Lincoln Taylor
It's just decraped, stuff will continue to work
There's also that metal to vulkan translator thing, it's not that big of a deal.
Charles Jones
*vulkan to metal, sorry.
Brayden Lee
brainlet detected
Andrew Bailey
How much performance do you lose? They're both next gen, same type of layers so I'm guessing the translation is pretty straightforward and fast.
Josiah Rodriguez
uhhhh...
blue board?
Adam Hernandez
I'm also interested about this, but this is pretty much the only decent comparison I could find:
phoronix.com
Apparently it performs better than opengl, but I'd like to see it compared to actual vulkan on a similar hardware.
Luis Bailey
Blue picture.
Easton Walker
but it's a bagina
Jonathan Thomas
why would you use mac?
Kayden Myers
You have the skill that is sought after. That something genuinely creative is not going to give you money, unless you invest yourself some.
Eli Walker
Justin Nelson
I actually am. Went through my uni's 3rd year computer graphics course to learn something over the summer. I currently know how to do 2d stuff with interactivity, working on a small chicken-invaders type project before going to 3d.
Joshua Ross
for fucks sake.
