Viewport letterboxing in Raylib
About week ago I started little 2D old school like project in latest .NET 7 just to test some new things I allways wanted to try. For graphic representation I’ve used small library called Raylib. For those who don’t know Raylib is high level OpenGL “wrapper” written in pure C and inspired by XNA - so it works more or less like Monogame or Love2D. I wanted to develop whole project in one native resolution which is small (in my case 480x320) for that desired old school look and feel. Technically it’s pretty simple, we just create render texture (aka offscreen target, render target or canvas) and basically draw everything into it instead of default framework canvas. Then we take our render texture and draw it how we want. That means we can use some trivial math to calculate positon and size when user resize window.

Defold je svým způsobem jedinečný nástroj, který je určen pro tvorbu středně velkých a menších her. Již při prvním pohledu na oficiální stránky si potenciální uživatel lehce všimne, že Defold spíše cílí na mobilní zařízení a web, ale rozhodně to není nutnost protože podporuje výstup pro veškeré mainstreamové platformy a nedávno byla dokonce přidána podpora pro PS4 s potvrzením, že podpora pro PS5 bude následovat. Jako největší výhody oproti konkurenci bych zmínil tyto body:
post gamedevWhy I love fantasy game consoles (and you should too)
Fantasy game consoles are “virtual computers” that lets you create and play retro-style software on your PC. But how does it work? Well, it is very simple, users have to download binaries (or use a web version) of the desired console and launch them. The console then welcomes the users with a booting screen and with old school console-like interface which the user uses for “navigating” through all the tools.
post gamedevNew blog!
Hi, and welcome to my new blog. I finally decided to migrate from WordPress to a custom solution on top of the beautiful HUGO framework. The theme is homemade, and I am kind of proud of it (frontend is not my cup of tea). I plan to add more functions and constantly improve them. I hope you will find the content of my blog interesting and at least readable :)
