Graphite uses fewer code paths, supports modern graphics APIs such as Metal, Vulkan, and D3D12, and is multithreaded by default. It improved Motionmark 1.3 scores by almost 15% on a MacBook Pro M3 and improved several real-world performance metrics. ### Source excerpt Today's The Fast and the Curious post covers the launch of Skia's new rasterization backend, Graphite, in Chrome on Apple Silicon Macs. Graphite is instrumental in helping Chrome achieve exceptional scores on Motionmark 1.3 and is key to unlocking a ton of future improvements in Chrome Graphics. A brief history of Skia in Chrome In Chrome, Skia is used to render paint commands from Blink and the browser UI into pixels on your screen, a process called rasterization. Skia has powered Chrome Graphics since the very beginning. Skia eventually ran into performance issues as the web evolved and became more complex, which led Chrome and Skia to invest in a GPU accelerated rasterization backend called Ganesh. Over the years, Ganesh matured into a solid highly performant rasterization backend and GPU rasterization launched on all platforms in Chrome on top of GL (via ANGLE on Windows D3D9/11). However, Ganesh always had a GL-centric design with too many specialized code paths and the team was hitting a wall when trying to implement optimizations that took advantage of modern graphics APIs in a principled manner. This set the stage for the team to rethink GPU rasterization from the ground up in the form of a new rasterization backend, Graphite. Graphite was developed from the start to be principled by having fewer and more comprehensible code paths. This forward looking design helps take advantage of modern graphics APIs like Metal, Vulkan and D3D12 and paradigms like compute based path rasterization, and is multithreaded by default. Results With Graphite in Chrome, we increased our Motionmark 1.3 scores by almost 15% on a Macbook Pro M3. At the same time, we improved real world metrics like INP (interaction to next paint time), LCP (time to largest contentful paint), graphics smoothness (percent dropped frames), GPU process malloc memory usage, and others. This all means substantially smoother interactions, less stutter when scrolling, and less time waiting for sites to show ## Building a Pride Rainbow Easter Egg into the Over Android App 🏳🌈 DevFeed: [Building a Pride Rainbow Easter Egg into the Over Android App 🏳🌈]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Rebecca Franks Published: 2021-06-13T09:39:08Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Rebecca Franks - @riggaroo]() Topics: [OpenGL](), [Android](), [glsl](), [implementation](), [render]() Tags: [android](), [glsl](), [guide](), [implementation](), [opengl](), [pride](), [rainbow](), [render](), [ui]() ### AI overview This tutorial explains how the Over Android app implements a Pride-themed Easter egg: text containing selected LGBTQ+ terms changes a text-layer outline into an animated rainbow.

It explains the project's architecture, reusable modules, dependencies, gameplay state management, platform-specific projects, and deliberately limited subsystem design. The article also discusses the use of Plywood, OpenGL, and advanced C++ features in lower-level modules. ### Source excerpt Flap Hero is a small game written entirely in C++ without using an existing game engine. All of its source code is available on GitHub. I think it can serve as an interesting resource for novice and intermediate game developers to study. In this post, I'll explain how Flap Hero's code is organized, how it differs from larger game projects, why it was written that way, and what could have been done better. Very little information in this post is specific to C++. Most of it would still be relevant if Flap Hero was written in another language like C#, Rust or plain C. That said, if you browse (or build) the source code, you will need some fluency in C++. Learn C++ and Learn OpenGL are two great resources for beginners. For the most part, Flap Hero's source code sticks to a fairly straightforward subset of C++, but the deeper you go into its low-level modules (like runtime), the more you'll encounter advanced C++ features like templates and SFINAE. General Architecture Flap Hero was developed using Plywood, a C++ framework that helps organize code into reusable modules. Each yellow box in the diagram below represents a Plywood module. The blue arrows represent dependencies. platform runtime image math plywood repo flapGame glfwFlap GameFlow.cpp GameState.cpp Collision.cpp Text.cpp FlapHero repo Public.h glfw soloud glad assimp Main.cpp iOS project Android project iOS project iOS project Windows,Linux& macOS Assets.cpp GLHelpers.cpp The biggest chunk of Flap Hero's game code is located in the flapGame module, which contains roughly 6400 physical lines of code. The two most important source files in the flapGame module are GameFlow.cpp and GameState.cpp. All the state for a single gameplay session is held inside a single GameState object. This object is, in turn, owned by a GameFlow object. The GameFlow can actually own two GameState objects at a given time, with both gameplay sessions updating concurrently. This is used to achieve an animated "split screen" effect during ## Как добавить 3D в iOS приложение c помощью SceneKit DevFeed: [Как добавить 3D в iOS приложение c помощью SceneKit]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: 5141125 (Кошелёк) Published: 2020-11-26T09:10:25Z Content type: tutorial Language: ru Sources: ["Кошелёк" RU]() Topics: [iOS](), [3D](), [OpenGL]() Tags: [3d](), [apple](), [ios](), [opengl](), [scenekit](), [swift]() ### AI overview This tutorial explains how the Wallet app implemented interactive 3D images of cards and coupons on iOS.

It argues that Microsoft's console diversification contributed to the weakening of its dominance in PC gaming and discusses the relationship between OpenGL adoption and cross-platform compatibility. ### Source excerpt Deciding whether to write this latest entry was a tad difficult, if only because I'm starting to feel like I've been harping a bit too much on Microsoft, but some of the information that has trickled out about the new Xbox bears some putting into context. Specifically, the requirement that anyone wanting to publish a game to Xbox Live needs to sign on with a publisher, so no self-publishing by indies. ## ReactOS Reconsiders Its OpenGL Rendering Backend After Mesa ICD Deprecation DevFeed: [ReactOS Reconsiders Its OpenGL Rendering Backend After Mesa ICD Deprecation]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2013-04-11T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Front Page on ReactOS Website]() Topics: [ReactOS](), [OpenGL](), [Graphics](), [3D graphics](), [Software](), [client](), [LLVM]() Tags: [3d](), [3d-graphics](), [client-driver](), [deprecated](), [driver](), [free](), [graphics](), [llvm](), [open-source](), [opengl](), [os](), [react](), [reactos](), [win32](), [winapi]() ### AI overview The ReactOS project relied on Mesa for OpenGL 3D graphics, but the Windows installable client driver it used was deprecated after Mesa's shift to Gallium3D. ReactOS evaluated software and LLVM-based rasterizer options, each with performance, completeness, hardware, or build-process limitations. ### Source excerpt OpenGL The ReactOS project has relied on the Mesa Project for OpenGL 3D graphics for a long time, but unfortunately the code needed by ReactOS is no longer maintained by Mesa. Actual rendering involves a chain of components, one of which is the called the installable client driver. The ICD is for the most part bundled with the graphics card driver, though it can also be a driver that performs rendering completely in software. ## Building Ogre3D from Sources on Fedora 15 DevFeed: [Building Ogre3D from Sources on Fedora 15]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2011-08-10T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Radek Pazdera]() Topics: [3D rendering](), [Fedora](), [CMake](), [OpenGL](), [Library]() Tags: [3d-rendering](), [build](), [cmake](), [fedora](), [library](), [opengl]() ### AI overview A walkthrough for building the Ogre 3D rendering engine from source on Fedora GNU/Linux or similar RPM-based distributions.
