I'm a geek, I'm a podcaster, I'm a curious person. I'm also an ex husband and a father, but I won't bother you with that :)

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@wolfenrain @CptPixel @reNotANumber Yeah, I probably should stop using one or the other. I like it here, but the longer posts over there are a good selling point !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

Hey #Flutter gurus with experience with shaders, I have a question : how would you go about passing an array of vec2 to the shader ? Is it at all possible ?

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@TakRutvik Yes they are. I need to figure out how to debug them, though :)

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

I tiped my toes in the dark waters of the GLSL shaders. It turns out it's not that dark after all. I even have something working to replace my raycasted dynamic lighting engine. #Flutter #FlameEngine

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@m_wimpress @popey @timClicks Even better than fine if it runs Ubuntu MATE. I thought I'd mentioned that. 😂

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@thelovebug I kind of want to keep my account here, so I'll stay extra cautious !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@wolfenrain @verry_codes @spydon Thanks. I wonder if it's worth exploring the dark world of shaders, to bring the frame rate back up ?

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

My dynamic lighting thingy now has closing/opening doors ! Still using #Flutter and the #FlameEngine, of course. The frame rate took a hit, but I have ideas about how to make it go back up.

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@verry_codes @spydon @wolfenrain For the record - and for @wolfenrain :-) - this here proof of concept is very_good_analysis'ed (I don't care that it's not a word, I'll use it anyway. I can because I'm french ^^)

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@CubicleNate Well, this is going a lot farther than what I expected it would. I'd like that to be run on a tablet for my players (D&D 5e, in person) to figure out what their characters actually see. As for a full fledge game, who knows, if I ever find some more free time !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@DMConstantino @DamianKBast @syncthing Yes, exactly !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

One of my most precious tools to develop #Flutter "stuff" on multiple machines is @syncthing ! Once my machines were sync'ed, I just forgot it was there, but my projects stay in sync and I can switch from one machine to the other in no time. One of those "It just works" tool !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@DamianKBast @syncthing No garbage commits, and a clean history !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@DamianKBast @syncthing Example : yesterday I was on a train. I worked of a Flutter project but that was in no way ready to be commited. Silently, Syncthing did its job and sync'ed everthing back home. When I got back at my desktop, I just picked up where I was, cleaned things up, and then commited !

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

In a train, laptop connected to the internet via the phone's unlimited 4G, upgrading #Flutter and #Dart SDK. How better can that trip get ??

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

News walls - made using Inkscape -, new homemade raycasting algorithm, opened doors and windows to let the light in - or out -, but sill in #Flutter using #FlameEngine. Oh, and it runs on #Linux of course ! https://t.co/6ay3933Lfi (caution: messy code !)

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@SebastianRoehl It's on GitHub :) https://t.co/6ay3933Lfi

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

What happens when a geek who can use #Flutter happens to also be a Donjons & Dragons game master ? Well, he writes something with #FlameEngine to display a map with line-of-sight capability ! Never again will my players argue about the monster hidden behind the door !

[Verry 💙 @verry_codes]

Did you know you can provide a release_notes.json file in your root directory which will automatically put the content of the file in release notes for iOS and Android apps in #flutter - including all translations you support ;)?

[Yannick (@[email protected]) @frenchguych]

@popey I see Swiss but I don't know what it refers to :-)
