Re: [Proposal] Better multimedia formats.
all that you said is just excuses Maybe. That however is a minor inconvenience, not a deal breaking flaw. As a developer should be well equipped to deal with small problems like this without as much as raising a complaint because of how trivial it is, on account of having to deal with orders of mag...

Re: [Proposal] Better multimedia formats.
How big is your game that you need to sacrifice texture quality for smaller package? 250 GB? Because at 100% quality JPEG is the same size as PNG so there's no reason to use former over latter. This isn't 1999, 5 GB of high quality assets versus 1 GB of low quality assets is not a decision you shoul...

Re: [LIB] utf8string
Interesting find. I also found that using substitution table directly as an argument is marginally faster than using a callback that looks up values from that table. Unfortunately, the library is generally broken for composite characters which are pretty common in some languages (e.g. korean) and th...

Re: Simple FFT demo
The calculations may be incorrect due to the Nyquist limit. I call attention to the fact that you're basically doing resampling using the absolute lowest quality algorithm in existence. You should not do any resampling at all unless you're dying for performance*, just feed the entire thing into fou...

Re: Simple FFT demo
There might be a logical error somewhere in your code. You can avoid it by avoid having logic - complete your actions immediately instead of deferring them to a later moment detected through some condition.

Re: Canvas performance is costly if I clear() and draw on it again?
Rendering to (an RGB8) canvas has the same performance impact as rendering directly to the screen. What causes graphics slowdowns is draw call saturation, that is your GPU driver can't push any more draw commands to the GPU per second. It happens to be a pretty low number so a whole slew of techniqu...

Re: How To get the x and y. touch without using an table.
Touch API is the same as mouse API except there are no buttons. Touch ID indicates which touch you're trying to reference, when there are multiple touches active at the same time.

Re: [Proposal] Better multimedia formats.
It's a sage conundrum: people who know this very well don't have the patience nor faith in humanity to explain all of that in simple terms to laymen, and people who are willing to do this don't have the necessary knowledge. Instead, I'll present a tangential to the topic but core to the reason argum...

Re: Mobile controller for shoot em up
Touchscreen routines return touch coordinates, you can simply move the ship to those coordinates. And you can implement a screen button which will be pushable on a touchscreen.
