I definitely DO NOT recommend having a clusterfuck of preprocessor conditional compilation statements like that all over your codebase for supporting multiple platforms. That's what the very first revision of libGyro looked like, and it got really gold really fast. That's a messy, totally disorganiz...

Well, to name one possible example of what might be an option in your engine: trigger Luas garbage collector, insult the scripts author and try again. Especially once you released your toolkit to a large audience who are not as aware of the memory constraints as you and your team are, I could imagi...

A basic Lua understanding and ANY experience with Unity3D will get you more than ready for ESTk. The engine architecture is highly influenced by Unity3D, so use Unity and imagine when you are writing UnityScript/C# Behaviors that you will be writing them in Lua in the future... That's ESTk.

...and send only one vertex per tile and inflate it with geometry shader to a full quad for even less transfer overhead. As dandymcgee pointed out, don't do this until you need the performance. I honestly haven't fucked with the geometry shaders enough to know if this would speed things up or not. ...

...and send only one vertex per tile and inflate it with geometry shader to a full quad for even less transfer overhead. Sure hope this dude is not targeting a mobile device without support for GLES 3 then... We can't even use geometry shaders because most mobile devices are still cock-blocked at G...

I would argue the way he has it is NOT safe, considering the createTexture() function could easily modify the Renderer pointer passed to it and fuck everything up. It has no business fucking with that pointer, so receiving the pointer by value rather than by reference is far safer if he's not using ...

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions. Don't know if you've been following AiGD, but all of the "Selection View" Dock Widget functionality on the right of ESTk, allowing you to dynamically view and modify contents of arbitrary Lua data AND load/save C++ data as Lua data was all wr...

Okay, so now I'm confused as shit. I'm looking through all projects for the Engine/Toolkit (Win, Linux, MacOS, iOS), and they definitely all have exceptions disabled, yet they are definitely all using at very least std::vector and std::map without any issue... At least in the Toolkit-specific code, ...

I cannot help you with what you need, as I haven't used Visual Studio in years, and I don't even know what the fuck "bjam" is. The last time I tried to compile LuaBind was for my Dreamcast about 5 years ago, and I gave up and never looked back, because of its massive boost dependency. Now ...

Best topic I've seen in awhile...

That's the basics.

If I were you, and I were using the OpenGL core profile, I would store that giant-ass array of geometry as a VBO GPU-side, and drastically reduce the overhead fo transferring vertices every frame.

WHY HELLO THERE MY WEIRD-INTEGRAL FRIEND!!!!

GCC isn't so bad if you're on Linux or a Mac, but it's a horrible piece of shit on Windows (MinGW), and considering the fact its main benefit to a developer is platform independence, I would dare say that's pretty shitty. Unfortunately pretty much every microprocessor and operating system supports G...

Holy fuck, we need to talk to these guys...

JUST APPROVED ANOTHER BIG BATCH OF YOU!

Sorry for the delay, I quit checking daily after I stopped seeing people request to join the group. Apparently some of you were waiting for awhile... Oops.
