sokol_letterbox.h sample screenshot
New mini sokol header:
sokol_letterbox.h
Just a helper function to compute viewport params for rendering fixed-aspect-ratio content in a variable-aspect-ratio window.

We finally have something to show you 👀
Here’s the first gameplay trailer from the Steam version of Roguecraft DX! Now with extra bells, whistles, and questionable design decisions.
Take a look 👇

'Syntonic Dentiforms' demo remake by @aras-p.bsky.social is using sokol for rendering and audio :)

I only use Claude Opus for 'passive work' like bug scanning, and for that it works quite okay-ish for the sokol headers. Other then that I'm pretty much an AI luddite ;)
The red line for the sokol headers is direct code generation / injection, that won't happen.
...and a somewhat 'adhoc' sokol_audio.h fix for the web platform:
The WebAudio implementation in Safari has a context state 'interrupted' which could confuse the suspend/resume handling in sokol_audio.h, this is now taken care of via this PR:

Ark VCS has finally reached 1.0! 🎉

Minor sokol-gfx/app update: enable more pixel format capabilities in most backends. Details in changelog:

If they *really* end up putting a long-term base on the moon then kudos.
But I bet once the US has stolen the show by landing a few peeps a few months before the Chinese the whole thing will quickly fizzle out again while China will just continue with their plans.
Sure, but the US has "been there done that", they're basically cheating ;)
Maybe one day we can collaborate again instead of competing.
E.g.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo%...
...still critical of the Artemis missions, from the outside it looks like the whole project has been hastily cobbled together from left over Shuttle spare parts just to steal away some cheap publicity points from the Chinese moon landing planned for 2030.
Lol I also started KSP up again the last two evenings. I'm so predictable...
e.g. note how here in Zig where I'm defining a generic type, there's a 2-tabs wide 'left padding' starting at the 'return struct' line:

FWIW, my main problem with nesting is not inside function bodies, but when it's needed for things *outside* functions (namespaces, classes, etc...) which then requires *all* code in the file being shifted to the right - this just looks odd...
Visible nesting is a *good thing*, trying to hide it just fixes the symptoms of bad code.
When I have a three-deep nested loop I *want* it to stand out, since any performance problems most likely lurk exactly there.
OTH this is Python, so performance probably doesn't matter ;)

AFAIK at least for ICEs the limit is the platform length at trains stations. Now the question is of course, why not switch to double deck trains to increase capacity (no idea tbh).
That checkbox was only added a couple of months ago (Aug-2025):

Minor sokol_app.h update for Windows: minimizing the window no longer resizes the framebuffer to 1x1 pixels and also no longer sends a resize event. New behaviour is consistent with other platforms.
Details: github.com/floooh/sokol...
They added an all-in-one checkbox somewhat recently to disable all AI features instead of having to sift through dozens of granular settings (tbh though, I find the chat panel kinda useful - but not a fan of all the deeply integrated Copilot features, they should leave that to optional extensions).
Code OSS doesn't magically re-assign VSCode programmers from wasting time on AI features to actual improvements unfortunately.
meshoptimizer 1.1 is out!
github.com/zeux/meshopt...
Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements! More information in the infographic and release above :)
Boosts and repository stars are welcome!
New minor sokol_gfx.h feature: support for the packed+signed int10_n2 vertex format has been added (optional because it's not supported on D3D11 and WebGPU). Details in the changelog:
github.com/floooh/sokol...
This explains so much about Github Actions reliability and performance after Microsoft started to move Github to Azure (read the whole article series, it's a hell of a ride):

Hi hi, Dear ImGui 1.92.7 is released!
50+ changes (e.g. tables reworked columns freezing with hidden columns, reorder from context menu, webgpu for emscripten 5 & wgvk native, nav keyboard/gamepad to open context menus, & many fixes/improvements)
github.com/ocornut/imgu...
New sokol update: rewriting the sokol_app.h frame timing code, and a new debug UI header `sokol_app_imgui.h` with a nice little frame time hud (open via `sokol-app => Hud`)
More details in the changelog: github.com/floooh/sokol...

Huh interesting, the company behind World Creator is based in Germany, pretty much a 'hidden champion' for video game production instead of industrial tools...

Darkest Files fehlen noch lausige 3 (DREI!!) positive Bewertungen, dann steht es bei "Overwhelmingly Positive" und ihr wisst ja was das bedeutet:

Maybe it works better with CMakePresets.json files? (CLion seems to have support for it):
www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/c...
E.g. this is how it would look like for Emscripten and Android (I don't use CLion for this build though, just cmdline or VSCode):

Reminds of the most mysterious bug I had on my gaming PC: mouse input in games would get stuck for about a second at random times (which is of course deadly in shooters).
The culprit was the USB hub I had the mouse and keyboard connected to :/
...I think those surprising glitches I have with the Mac touchpad are because the MBP touchpad is just to big. My left-hand palm often rests on the touchpad and that sometimes seems to fuck everything up (sudden zooming etc...).
Anyway... Asus 14" OLED Zenbook + KDE is a good combo ;)
