What is CNOVR (Intro #1)

[@leonvankammen7499]

live 3d coding in VR in C.. You're a legend. This is huge.

[@AKRASNOVV]

Man I've been thinking about this concept for months. You've created a very cool thing. I literally have no words to say how amazing this is. It has potential, it has power and all that. You're a genius. Huge respect

[@jaro6985]

Probably the fastest and most straightforward build instructions I've seen on an open source project, nice work.

[@CNLohr]

Thanks!

[@Cars0ndh]

This is awesome! Thanks for doing this! If (when) I get a VR headset, I will check this out for sure. Thanks for making your hard work open and accessible to others!

[@lucarox1818]

It's fantastic that youve made it so user friendly! I can think of so many uses for this. Even without a VR headset, it's really neat to have a playground like this for learning the basics of openGL, GLSL, and general programing with 3D environments. Great work. Thanks for sharing!

[@TurkishLoserInc]

This is CRAZY COOL! Great work!

[@DerSolinski]

This is really useful for prototyping, but nothing that should be used as a production executable since having an entire compiler in it makes it very unsafe. (without a shitload of safeguards) However you should add the ability for a one-click export to build a one purpose program/tool without the compiler :-) Thinking of it try to run you non-euclidean space thing in VR, that would be fun.

[@l3p3]

Nice use of tcc, makes me think how this method could be translated into other platforms. Of course, it is a huge selling point that it compiles that fast and you don't have to wait after code changes... And C is of course much more performant than interpreted stuff like Java. I wonder if llvm is an option here since it offers runtime code insertion...

[@Johennessy]

Super dope!

[@sandwich2473]

1:15, and VLC it seems... :P This looks really cool. Nice work.

[@zZkamexZz]

Amazing job! Can't wait to play with it.

[@fluffy_tail4365]

This is nuts, I am going to play with this a lot!

[@openroomxyz]

Nice :) If you perceive VR are reality you are immersed in you can crash it xD

[@shaiseg]

WOW! I like the simplicity of it!! C rocks! Can it work on slower graphics cards?

[@CNLohr]

Graphics is still graphics, you can make things go slow, but in general it does let you push the boundaries.

[@artemking4460]

Also you can use stackwalker to do all that stack walking stuff

[@maxtester8824]

Wow. This. Is. Huge. Brilliant!

[@wthoutanymmries]

fucking legend.

[@Gladelin]

I feel like everybody is just waiting. . like 5 to 10 years, for vr. . to actually make games.

[@rjmunt]

Wow. Nice work.

[@computergeeq360]

Awesome

[@sqoob7082]

Wow.

[@CristalianaIvor]

OK I cannot overstate how fucking cool this is. If I ever get A F*CKING GRAPHICS CARD and my VR headset I really need to try this out! Also I need to learn to program C *sigh* Well I can do that until graphics cards are affordable again.

[@CNLohr]

That you can. You can do C on juuust about any potato.

[@CristalianaIvor]

@@CNLohr Let me do experiments on how to build a potato battery powered PC.

[@iamjimgroth]

This is absolutely awesome, but I'll stick to unity for now. Big thanks to people that develop stuff like this. Especially those that Jump on the project early. Had I the skill and patience I would have too, but I'll leave this to better people than me.

[@slavko321]

Boss, can you recommend/rate a VR setup? Is it a good time to buy, hacked quest2 maybe?

[@CNLohr]

I am partial as I helped make the Index. I think it's the best :-p

[@donaldviszneki8251]

Can you describe your VR rig of choice? (Headset, controllers, trackers, etc.) Edit: and GPU

[@CNLohr]

I currently use a PowerSpec 1520, a $1299 laptop with a RTX2070, And the Valve Index. My old roommate has a RTX2070 super desktop and the index. This is an awesome price point right now for high end but not insano price.

[@hrmny_]

Why GitHub desktop, people not familiar with it could just download the zip?

[@CNLohr]

To help you stay up-to-date. Also, does the zip get the submodules?

[@hrmny_]

@@CNLohr ah right probably not, didn't know the github desktop client does that by default Is github desktop your preferred client?

[@CNLohr]

@@hrmny_ No, I normally use the command-line git, but I know that's not for everyone.

[@Chriva]

np++. It makes me happy every time someone mentions that editor instead of the sublime garbage :)

[@tetraquark2402]

You are a clever dude

[@ObiTrev]

I have some ideas and questions regarding video modes, where's a good place to ask?

[@CNLohr]

video modes? Do you mean relating to cnovr? If so, the discord I mentioned, there's an invite code that's on the github repo.

[@derrickdonkor7254]

how is the jit compilation done

[@CNLohr]

TinyCC

[@artemking4460]

I would REALLY like to see something like that in c++

[@MathewRenfro]

This can be used in WebDev? WebXR / WebAssembly? integrate with Apache / C panel?

[@ajaybnl]

This is a 3d engine i guess!

[@kil98q]

you should give files a bit of time before you read them.

[@Ncky]

Lul

[@hayd7371]

Thank you for targeting linux!!!

[@JamesNewton]

SteamVR appears to cost $999. !!! ???

[@CNLohr]

You can use any steamvr compatible headset. Many are available on ebay and even new.

[@nxxxxzn]

heey dude put it on steam for like 0.5$, this is easy for us FW folks but noobies won't bother with all the github and compilation stuff
