wow 3 people online, I think this must be like a record or osmething

anyways, it's Friday, which means that I might have some time to do some fun stuff today

Refactoring my renderer after my OpenGL port

There's still stuff missing and SDL-oriented stuff that can be now altered to be more streamlined with how OpenGL works

Then the "fun fun" stuff would be to actually use shaders in a cool way, so experiment with lighting and stuff like that

Yeah; I also got invited to a group at uni where we intend to make some games, so I'd need get started with Unity a little, plus there's also a party that computer science freshmen organize, and me and another dude are supposed to setup a website for that

I think some people do something a few hours a week, but it's not terribly common in the bachelor's phase, much more common when working on one's masters degree

I myself couldn't handle a job atleast right now, there's just so much to do

Yeah exactly. I still live with my parents so I'm doing financially okay. All students get a monthly payment based on their living arrangements, plus a part of their rent (if rent is paid) paid, and then the state offers student loan guarantees, and if one graduates in the time allowed (I think it's like 5.5 years for a 5 year degree) then a part of the student loan is paid off by the state

The ratio of the monthly payment and the student loan guarantee per month used to be more towards the monthly payment, but yay, government changed those a few years ago

It really kinda sucks, since people used to be able to live okay without taking the loan, but that's definitely not the case nowadays

There are so many baby boomers voting old people into government positions

Oh yeah good point.

So I could use some help with this:

What's happening with the lines between the tiles?

It looks like somehow the camera position affects the texture coordinates or something, since those lines don't appear always, just in certain view offsets.

Yeah I'm fairly certain that it's the non-integerness of the offset that causes this

Yeah, I've also had an occasional line appearing here and there with SDL's rendering so at least now I should have enough control to totally patch this

I've been pleasantly surprised how nicely I've structured my rendering, I can clean up a lot of stuff without changing the public interface that the actual game code uses

So the good old half-pixel offset thing fixes this, but it makes my sprite's outmost pixels thinner than they should be

Ah, also works with something smaller than half of a pixel
