• Text Texture Atlas
  November 16, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Text Texture Atlas

  Today I added a new little effect that only happens when you hit the wall. I might change it a little bit more to like fade in / out depending on how close you are to the wall but that's a "deciding t... Continue reading

• Water Grid And Dragon Curve ON GPU!
  October 31, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#GPU DX12 BUGFIXES, #Audio mixing: the start

  Before, I used to just sample some small region eg 1024 x 1024 out of a premade dragon curve texture that was larger eg 2048 x 2048. So I had written code that was "ok enough" to pull texel data from... Continue reading
• Moving Water Grid to GPU
  October 30, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Water Grid, #DX12

  I profiled the game again and figured out the next big culprit to the slow framerate(s) was the water grid and rightfully so. The reason why it was slow was that I had to check for each vertex the Y p... Continue reading

  October 24, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Tech Post, #Audio Processing

  Today's build has two new things. A: I removed the water wave sound from the game as I think it was just annoying (like I suspicioned in yesterday's build). I don't know if any of ya'll thought it was... Continue reading

• Code Generated Cylinder
  October 16, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Cylinder, #Tech Discussion, #Do these tags do anything?

  October 15, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#New Mesh, #Ehheh

• Premade Goals Are Maybe Bad?
  September 28, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Design

• Scoring system visuals
  September 18, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Design

  So I was thinking about how the current new score system allowed you, the player, to quite easily get high scores if you learned where the "link buffer" is. What I mean by this is that out of the stor... Continue reading
• New Score System Update
  September 17, 2021 by AndrewNReinke#Scoring System
