Amin Mesbah<p>What a joy! Animal Well is the first game since Cave Story and Knytt that evoked such strong feelings of wonder and mystery in exploration.</p>

Amin Mesbah<p>Arranging shortcuts on the windows 10 start menu feels like tightening a small screw with a paintbrush.</p>
Amin Mesbah<p>Small asteroids clone I&#39;ve been working on over the holidays. Controlled with a thumbstick and two buttons. It&#39;s fun!</p><p>500 lines of C atop Raylib.</p>

Amin Mesbah<p>I recently participated in my first programming jam.

Amin Mesbah<p>Finished a side-quest making improvements to my .tga decoder, and my software renderer now supports textures!</p>
Amin Mesbah<p>When I see the &quot;Secure Site Not Available&quot; warning I immediately react at a subconscious level with joy and solace.</p><p>It&#39;s such a consistent and reliable signal that the website I&#39;m about to see is useful and excellent.</p>
Amin Mesbah<p>My software renderer&#39;s depth buffer looked a bit off (left), so I fixed it yesterday (right).</p><p>Turns out I was calculating barycentric coordinates incorrectly, causing the interpolated depth values to behave as if each triangle vertex had the data of the next.</p><p>I&#39;m glad I visualized the depth buffer, otherwise I wouldn&#39;t have caught this until implementing texture mapping.</p>
Amin Mesbah<p>Software renderer project update:</p><p>- Filled, interpolated triangles<br />- Flat shading<br />- Depth testing</p><p>Barycentric coordinates are absolutely beautiful.</p>
Amin Mesbah<p>I just bought my early bird tickets for this year&#39;s Handmade programming conferences:</p><p>- Handmade Boston (online track)<br />- Handmade Seattle (physical track)</p><p>I&#39;m already looking forward to it!</p><p><a href="https://handmadecities.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">handmadecities.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
