Type SCALE
Well, there's nothing fancy in this (just type SCALE) and nothing much to write in the description, and it's not even a game so here's some text for you to read.
You'll not believe me but it took me 4 days to get here. A lot of learning happened. It was an ambitious challenge for me to use bgfx or sokol, but it was fun.
I started exploring on Thursday: I wanted to try SDL3 + bgfx initially, so I started with that, went through tutorials, examples, discord and LLM chats to understand how to make it work with C (because I wanted to work on C), but then there were some issues with shaders so switched to C++. I got it to work as a desktop app, but wasn't able to make/compile shaders to work on HTML5.
On the day of Game jam: I switched to sokol halfway, so that I can make at least some progress. I was equally unfamiliar with sokol so it was not going to be easy but still, felt I need a switch. It took so long to just render a Triangle on screen, and then rendering texture, and then maintaining aspect ratio, learning model/view/etc matrices concepts, I was able to get here.
Thanks for checking out.
