Showing my 3D game written in C using SDL2 (no engine)

[@vadiks20032]

i like how you barely can hear somebody yelling at the end. it gives the video a bit of horror thoughts. what if this guy is held captive and when he heard people coming, he turned off his video immediately?

[@carltheperson]

You can keep thinking that if it makes this video go viral

[@CasualGameDev]

Lmao probably his mom yelling at him to do dishes or something is more likely

[@Wanderer2035]

I would delete these comments, just more trolls that have nothing better to do but be toxic

[@vadiks20032]

@@Wanderer2035 what do you mean

[@lupsik1]

Listening to this in a studio environment, you can hear a woman talking loudly to someone probably a few meters away defo not yelling. Tbh sounded just like how mom sounds when she tells me about sth I forgot to do. And then a loud low freq thump that pressurised my whole room which I presume was someone closing the door somewhere else. My theory is: He has a sibling who didn't want to listen to his mom so he closed himself in his room. Certainty: idk like 25%

[@n00bc0de7]

SDL2 has a function in it called SDL_RenderGeometry that you can use for texture mapping polygons as well. I use it in my 3D engine and it works pretty well.

[@Cinarbayramic]

im trying to make an engine too but how do you find the screen coordinates of the polygons

[@quelich]

Well done. I think every developer should understand how to program in C and your work gives us a great perspective. Keep going :D

[@ToniTaku88]

I admire young people who follow their passion! Never stop :)! Thanks for the content.

[@matthewlloyd3255]

That's great. I use SDL2 as well and have done some fake 3d using 2d sprites that simply scale based on z-distance into the world but this is really nice.

[@aaaowski7048]

the parallax effect to draw the sides sounds like alot of hacky mathematics fun

[@alganpokemon905]

you say fake 3d, but all 3d graphics is fake 3d hahaha, it's always a bunch of mathematics that creates the illusion of 3d visuals

[@viniciuss.9250]

Amazing project! Congrats!

[@User-w8t4t]

3d project without engine is awesome.

[@Fernando-du5uj]

Great job, mate. I've been using SDL2 as well. I've been making a game 70's Atari Asteroids-like, simple game, just to get used to C and SDL2 and its been very fun.

[@mirzaalam9844]

Fascinating! Thanks for covering it will be interesting to look through.

[@wlockuz4467]

Magnus Carlsen is that you?

[@malwaretestingfan]

Commenting for the algorithm, your project looks amazing.

[@variablecopper]

Really cool project! I really like how the blocks come into view with the blurring effect. There's just a small issue with the text. You're not deleting the textures for the text in the corner after using them, which causes memory leaks. I know this because I did the same thing! Just adding some lines to delete the textures in the "drawSpeedText()" function fixes the memory usage. I'd also recommend creating your variables and surfaces at init time to reduce the unnecessary processes. Regardless, I had fun playing this and looking at the source code. I hope my advice helps!

[@ChronicoOne]

Looks great! I've made something similar but less flashy in OpenGL with C, and it was an absolute grind making everything work right. Is SDL a more forgiving library?

[@sayori3939]

Definitely, and it seems it's really fast too, i believe for default it uses software rendering but you can use both hardware acceleration or opengl

[@davidcottrell1308]

Very Cool!!!

Does anyone know if SDL uses the modern OpenGL graphics pipeline?

[@SnakeEngine]

The SDL renderer will use DirectX on Windows and Metal on Mac. On Linux/Android, not sure what OpenGl version it uses, but SDL3 is already in the works and it will for sure utilize Opengl 3.3+.

[@pedrogabrielnogueira1068]

everything other than the collision detection can be done in the pixel shader itself - even the just in time generation of the random lattice points its casting through

You can do that kind of stuff in JavaScript as generative art. Then you can sell your art on a NFT marketplace like fxhash. It might not be widely known, but fxhash does kind of expose the source code of generative art pieces so you can see how some of the top generative artists do their magic.

SDL is cheating, is basically an engine with a shitty API.

Why you don't use unity? Your game is boring and takes a lot of afford to make

he explained in the video, he did it to challenge himself in 3D graphics. The game itself is a means to an end.

[@illegalsmirf]

Why?

[@jasonpenick7498]

Game "Engines" are smoke and mirrors. Tons of extra overhead and useless features, for the appearance of making things easier, but inevitably you end up fighting the engine. You are doing it the right way.

[@Carlos-kh5qu]

really cool, and you could use OpenGL with SDL2 to get some funky shaders going on, after i learned how to use shaders it's been my favorite thing to code. here's some resources/libraries to get started in C+SDL2+OpenGL: best tutorial site out there for opengl learnopengl.com/ glad, you'll need this to load modern opengl functions (explained in the tutorial) glad.dav1d.de/ put the version, compat mode, extensions and you're good to go note: the tutorial uses GLFW so just use the SDL equivalents (swapwindow, sethint etc) last there's the cglm, with all the math you need for graphics like perspective, affine transforms and even quaternions github.com/recp/cglm note 2: this one you can just include and use
