What are you working on?

The particles looks great, and I bet the rest will too.

As for me, nothing. December was hell, and I won't have enough time for the next two months.

I meant for 3d. I too did 2d first. Console text, at that.

A geometry shader for particles? Pass in one point and it spits out 2 tris as a billboarded quad?

I want to try gl points with a nice fragment shader.

Another idea I had once was to use dynamic textures - take 2 or 3 large-ish ones - and rebuild software Quake's surface caching with them. You're 50% of the way towards megatexture with that.

The technology behind it is sufficiently intriguing that I might do it as a research project when time becomes free, but I'm not certain if it's something I'd put in a release engine.

i'm trying to reduce SDL's input delay in Windows

it sucks because i'm doing this to play one of my favorite closed source indie games better.

Adding DDS support to RMQ. Future demo downloads should be a LOT smaller.

This is also going to be more generally portable to other engines, and will have the ability to uncompress a DDS to RGBA data if the hardware doesn't support compressed textures.
