The lack of trackpad gestures is very surprising in 2018. Fortunately it can be implemented with an addon but it's not perfect https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-touch-z...

Can anyone who has experience with MoltenVK discuss any potential pitfalls? (It's existed in a closed-source form for 2 years). Is it a case of loading the library and forgetting it, or will you likely need some MoltenVK-specific codep

I built exactly that a few years ago: V8 with WebGL bindings that passed through to OpenGL ES. It was to enable WebGL experiences on the GearVR, where a full browser wouldn't cut it. I've got sample using an OS X window but it sho

I like this approach, I'm keen to try it too – is the project open source? Which browser engine did you use? One advantage of this approach compared to the minimal UI libraries is that you can expect it to work well with a massive arra

How are your people skills? It makes a big difference to have a project manager who's got a decent understanding of the tech. I work with a great PM who didn't make it through the interview as a developer but was asked to join as

I understand the advantage of the HashLink target is to provide the choice between a fast-to-compile target (HLVM) and a fast-to-run but slow to compile target (C). So you'd want to use the HL target for quick development iterations an

This is great to have as a reference - the GLSL parser looks like a very thorough implementation. Thanks! We've recently produced a WebGL implementation on top of V8 (passing calls through to OpenGL ES) - we needed it for a specific us

That's correct, it makes the situation easier for the programmer rather than improving the pipeline directly, however there are benefits for the added layer of abstraction in terms of flexibility and optimization. When your target plat

The haxe-language project 'hxsl' takes a pretty good stab at improving the situation. With hxsl you write your GPU and CPU code in the same language (haxe) and it generates shader strings (in GLSL or AGAL) at compiletime along wit

There were a few aims I wanted to meet: - Stick as closely as possible to the GLSL specification by using the reference grammar with minimal modification - Produce a haxe version of the parser so I could do some haxe-compile-time magic with

Lemon is great. I used it to develop a browser based GLSL parser[0]. I spent ages working with existing javascript parser generators and kept running into walls with syntax and performance until I settled on porting Lemon. I ported the core

I take your point, but the food ultimately gets its energy from the sun, which gets its energy from collapsing under gravity. I don't think there's a clear place to stop, but I'd say the name Gravity Light gets the idea acros

Love it! If you're studying HTML5, the next thing to try is to execute the Mandelbrot iterations on the GPU with WebGL - GPUs are very well suited for fractal rendering; with a beefy GPU you should find you can render at 60fps https:&
