Framebuffers in OpenGL | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #27

[@GamesWithGabe]

To everyone following this series in real time, I thought I would be able to record two tutorials (one for the game engine series and one for the physics series) this week, but I am moving over this upcoming weekend (August 8-10) and my life has been quite hectic with all the preparations. So, unfortunately, I will not release any new tutorial videos until next week on August 11th and 14th. After that, I should resume my usual schedule of 2-3 videos a week :)

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to do a Framebuffer with a 2D game, and all the examples I've seen so far have been with 3d in mind, and so they made it more complicated. I followed your code and got my off screen rendering finally working!

[@GamesWithGabe]

Nice D G! I'm glad the tutorial helped you out in the end :)

good explanation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks! 😃

9:30 Why not just check if oTex.getFilepath() == filePath? we're getting the width and height directly from the file so it theoretically can't be different

[@GamesWithGabe]

You could do that if you want and it should behave the same way, it just provides a bit of extra safety to check everything and comparing 3 more numbers doesn't tax the CPU :)

[@rxn7]

will you cover adding custom components/scripts? i mean like in any other engine you can add your custom script, not only use the built-in ones

[@rxn7]

Exporting a game would be really cool as well

[@GamesWithGabe]

@@rxn7 I am just about to cover adding custom components/scripts (it should be relatively simple) and I'll show how to export a game, but we won't be able to build it into the engine since it's not really ideal for Java games. I'll explain more once we get to that phase though

FBO open up...... Sorry ill stop. :)

[@GamesWithGabe]

Lol, I had to restrain myself from making that joke too while recording
