@ocornut Makes sense. Thx!

So I was using IMGUI for rendering UI for testing purposes and for users, but I cannot use IMGUI anymore due to the WebGPU migration. So I am building my own simple UI library! Users will be able to create UI applications with Velaptor!

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@ocornut 🤔. When I tried to use it, it did not work and the research that I did showed that the only way was to use some other lib somebody made. I use silk .net which has WebGPU, but imgui in silk did not work.

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

This is currently all being rendered with Velaptor/WebGPU! Velaptor's future is looking bright!

Uhhh...wow....this is amazing! Super easy desktop apps with deno!

#velaptor has high-performance audio powered by my open-source audio library CASL! 🔉

Stop worrying about audio complexities. Choose your mode:

✅ Instant playback for SFX.
✅ Audio streaming for music.

Efficient. Simple. Powerful. 🎵

@moshhamedani But yet people keep creating slop even though all of the experienced engineers and AI professionals keep warning them not to.

Every open source maintainer asks for sponsorships. But how many of us look down our own dependency graphs and realize we’re relying on unpaid, midnight-oil infrastructure to build our own tools?

Want precise control in your 2D game? 🎮

Check out how #velaptor handles keyboard input. Tracking keyboard state is the secret for detecting key releases & creating responsive mechanics. ⌨️

Clean, simple, and powerful. 💪🏻

This is a simple and great explanation of the problem with using AI when coding.

It's only 7 to 8 minutes long and I encourage you to watch it so you're aware of this problem that is plaguing the industry.

@James_M_South @AvaloniaUI @SixLabors Nice!!

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

🧱 Simplify your 2D rendering with #velaptor!

Stop worrying abt call order. Every Render() call uses a 'layer' parameter to handle depth:
☁️ Layer -20: Background
🌱 Layer 0: Ground
⚔️ Layer 1: Player
📊 Layer 100: UI/HUD

Just assign a layer and move on.🚀

Volume in #casl is a simple 0 to 100 scale. No confusing float ranges or decibel math. Set it and forget it. 💪

@SaraJaoude Indeed!

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@SaraJaoude Oh yeah....the food, fruits, and veggies here are sooo good...

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@razvanmuntian 🤣 I'm no particular order...lol so true!

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

@James_M_South 🤣

[Calvin Wilkinson (Kinson Digital) @KDCoder]

Solo dev doesn't mean "small impact." I'm building #velaptor to prove that one person with the right .NET tools can create something professional and fast. 🚀

Join the journey and help me show what the managed code community can do.

@eddiejaoude I tried whisperflow which works very well and voice box but with the voice box I only tried out the text to voice. I didn't actually mess with it that much. I will say that it sounded exactly like me
