People often ask if they should use tau instead of pi, but the answer is that usually you don't need either. Most uses of those constants are because of functions that take radian parameters, which is almost always a bad idea:

The world's first trombone rhythm game is instantly a GOTY contender. And no, I'm not kidding. Turn up the volume and hear Beethoven like you've never heard it before. https://t.co/Qu7Cmkhjzc

The final results of the WASM-4 Jam are out, including some interesting insight from Aduros, its creator.

One surprising datapoint: most jammers were Europeans!

Hi! I worked on Rumbleverse as Lead Combat Designer. I figure I’d take some time to share some thoughts about my process, inspirations, and gush about all the amazing work everyone on the team did. Enjoy!

[Travis! @travis_foo]

Anyway, go play Rumbleverse tomorrow.

There’s an interesting balance between admiration and envy. For example there are many game developers out there, individual or company, that create games I greatly admire. Sometimes I get this… yearning to work with them or work on their project.

[Travis! @travis_foo]

So now when I get that feeling, I try to channel it into my own work. i.e. transitioning from “I really wish I could work on <cool game>” to “What can I do to make my players feel like they do when they play <cool game>”

Oh boy, constexpr is invading C. A bunch of cool stuff in here

@Leah_Augustine Apologies for the mess but here’s what I have set up. Mostly decorated with Blizz merch I’ve acquired from working with them for a few years. Then there’s some pops and other miscellaneous art. And a puppy :)

The Our Machinery blog is an essential game dev resource, glad to see it being archived somewhere

[Travis! @travis_foo]

Really sad to hear about Our Machinery... it sounds like a really messed up situation...

It’s crazy how many problems I solve by taking my dog out to play and processing in the background. I think Kobe deserves an in game credit.

There's nothing like adding one line to a .h file and spawning a thousand-job compile that takes 30 minutes...

Shadertoy has been beyond influential in my career and many others. Well deserved!

[Shadertoy @Shadertoy]

Happy and proud to announce that @Shadertoy cofounders @iquilezles and @poljeremias have been awarded the prestigious ACM SIGGRAPH Practitioner Award (https://t.co/Qx4Tgqzvwo) for their decade long work to broaden the use and openness of computer graphics and its learning.

Man, seeing NBA athletes in a normal high school gym really puts into perspective how athletic and skilled they are.

LeBron showed off a few of these vintage fadeaways at @DrewLeague
