Sets up OpenGL for communication with GPU, proceeds to do all pixel calculations on the CPU and use the GPU as a pass through. Jokes aside, nice work 👍 I think its really creative to use the texture buffer like this and given that its low rez the performance isn't really needed anyway.
Normally, the GPU receives an input like triangles of a mesh and produce pixel colors from that. That is a lot of work depending on how complicated the mesh is. In this case the GPU is given a texture with all colors already set. The only thing the GPU has to do is pass it on to the screen. This is a whaste of the GPUs power but given the pixel nature of the engine I don't think that power is needed yet.
Just a little correction, OpenGL doesn't handle your input, that's GLFW, which is the framework that creates the OpenGL context and Window, OpenGL is just for rendering. Awesome stuff though
@@moosethegoose8581 For some people, this doesn't matter. However, as somebody into game engines, I immediately, uhh, 😅 """felt offended""" when he stated that OpenGL does the windowing work 😂
You'd be surprised at how simple game engines are. I started making them as a teenager. Currently making one for a terminal based roguelike. Learning how to organize your code is the most important part. Once you get past that, it's just plugging in the code for each of the parts.
there are lots of good reasons for making your own engine. - for fun - avoiding bloat - making it only have what you need - performance - having it support niece features you want - it is your own (you won't have to pay anyone else for using it, since it is your own) - getting better at programming (when you use something like unity you learn how to make something using unity, but when you make a game engine you begin to learn how to make a game by yourself, so you get better at programming, and in case unity ever goes away, you can continue making games without it) and more that I don't remember atm.

This is neat, and a good learning experience for sure. I've been doodling with Vulkan for a few years now. It's really REALLY good, but it's also a ton of work. I've been building my own general purpose game engine for a year now. I'm still working on the basic core fundamentals of it. I wanted to make my own reflection system so I'm writing my own C++ parser... I'm still at it. It's been pretty fun so far though.
Whoaaa, this video has so many coincidences with me it's crazy. Everything from your thought process choosing learning OpenGL, the tutorial you used, the idea for a game engine that would run in the shader code instead of in the cpu code. All the same. My idea was inspired by Noita, trying to see if a game like it could be optimized further by runing it's pixel simulations on the gpu. It might be use a cellular automaton to define the physics too, and the double buffering in the rendering pipeline is also coincidentally necessary for the cellular automaton to be stable. It was so perfect. But I never got past the point where you ended, i.e. the texture page. I know that's probably all I need, but now I'm procrastinating haha. Maybe your project will give me the push I need.
I genuinely laughed out loud when you mentioned pipelining. It had approximately 0 effect on the speed of that loop. That was 100% due to making a O(1) algorithm into a polynomial.
Superb video. I do think you're quite, quite mad for building your own but there were great lessons in there - especially about performance. I'd probably use Rust for low level. Tantan has had some good experience with wrappers for opengl.
Rust is an excellent shout, and I love Tantan videos. I've made a small project in Rust before but then forgot the interesting bits about how I made it before I made a video. I might have to give it another look. Thanks Rob 👍
This might be my favorite video in the ‘without a game engine’ series of videos. Also, I know there are ways to make a game/game engine without a graphics framework/api without having to make a graphics card. Some people will use the cpu for rendering, and this method was used in the past for game consoles or any device that didn’t have a gpu. CPU rendering can be less performant than gpu rendering from what I’ve heard, but it’s still an option, and for small projects like 2d projects performance shouldn’t be bad. You could also make an ascii game which is even simpler since it involves just printing text to the screen. The only problem is you won’t have actual graphics, but people still make awesome ascii games, some with great color too. You could check out asciicker, ascii patrol, and other ascii games to see the potential ascii games can have. Currently now I’m looking forward to make ascii programs. Soon I plan to learn about cpu based rendering and making games without graphics frameworks/apis. Later eventually I think I’d like to learn graphics frameworks/apis also.
finally the long 10 month wait is over, the only classic game dev youtuber to not die in the nuclear blast or something I mean they all just disappeared, in some cases that was for the better tho *cough *cough Barji, There is some kind of conspiracy I tell you.
this architecture isn’t actually all that bad. It’s a common technique called Software Rendering. Although the converting it into texture isn’t the most common thing. You could of also used SDL2 which would of also let you convert a pixel array into a texture and then render it with the GPU but just with a fair simpler API.
6:28 - Mother of God. You know exact location of your pixel in the array and yet, instead of just setting it, your wrote a double for loop? o_O It's the strangest thing in programming I have ever seen.
This is a fantastic video, nice work! I made a game engine using the opengl wrapper opentk so I could use c#. Trying to create a game engine gives you so much insight into how most game engines work and is great for learning new programming concepts.
This is pretty awesome! I feel like that this could be made pretty well with SDL2 instead of OpenGL, it’s really lightweight and handles everything, like windows, rendering, input, sound, you name it!
@@Chadderbox May I ask why you don’t like lua? It’s fast, easy to learn, very readable, and has easy C/C++ integration built-in. It kinda just seems like the perfect tool for the job in this situation.
Using function pointers for user to specify there start, update and finish is the correct way so good job. It allows user not to worry about going into your engine code. Only thing bad about your engine is there no audio.
1:51 correction: these are not graphics frameworks, these are graphics API's. graphics frameworks are the high level, abstracted stuff that you use to render stuff on screen, which then a graphics API is used for that job. also, did you ever check on the godot engine?
I think since you're just rendering a texture to the window, you could probably drop OpenGL entirely and do software rendering with something like GLFW. I'm not sure how well that would work with scaling...but that would allow it to run entirely on the CPU
7:40 gonna "umm actually" this and say that in the code you gave you're using references, not pointers, also in C++ you can use std::function instead of a reference or pointer to accept a function as an argument just so you know
I don't understand OpenGL but I write my own engine. That's exactly the point: people creating custom engines for fun and learning (no, nobody in the comments needs a custom engine because of performance 😅)
the speed myth is still a myth. opengl is not slower than the other two. and it saddens me that all sorts of people who started making engines believe that : (

OpenGL definitely doesn't perform worse than DirectX, in fact you could even get VK or DX12 like performance out of it if you know what you're doing. These "frameworks" are actually graphics APIs that send commands to the GPU, period. The performance you get is almost entirely dependent on your engine design/subsystems, draw call optimizations, etc.

Glfw is the library/api to create windows and create OpenGL contexts in those windows ,by default glfw imports OpenGL(or Vulkan if #define GLFW_INCLUDE_VULKAN is written in the file) which means he did indeed have to use OpenGL, just because there isn't any shaders or anything doesn't mean he didn't use OpenGL,He. literally talked about an OpenGL FUNCTION he used.

@@AugustCoder Yeah, I'm currently trying to make 3d game in an os. It would maybe be less painful, if I didn't wanted to do it "the ol' way" and just used UEFI like a normal person.
C++ is very performant and has some useful abstractions over C or assembly like OOP which becomes very handy for Engine Development later on. But it's a memory unsafe language so you should use rust btw.
Kind of a weird and loaded question to ask, considering most game engines are made in C++, literally every major game engine is written in C++ (Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc). What was he gonna write it in, Python? Sure, if you want very weak performance, by all means. But you're not gonna get hundreds or even thousands of frames per second like you can with C++. It's a compiled language and creates a native binary executable for the system it's on. Really the only logical option.
@@nick15684 Rust nowadays is seen as a compelling alternative for C++, it has a lot of the features that C++ has, but without the fear of breaking things with manual memory management
That pixelndex calculation is wrong and works only because you have square window. It should be: ((y * windowWidth) + x) * 3 also the bounds checking should not allow x or y to be the width or height respectively.
Hey, I don’t know if you still respond to comments on this video but can you tell what app did you use to code. Did you use VS code or something else? And if you did, how’d you set it up?
This was in VSCode, I followed a video to set it up but unfortunately that video is no longer available. I'm sure if you look it up on UA-cam then you'll find something. It is basically just setting up MinGW on windows and that is it.
hi, in fact I would like to code projects like you but since I hear here and there that we have to stay at the cutting edge of technology, I tell myself that if I start a project that takes me... let's say 03 months, trends will change and I will no longer be up to date. This means that I abandon all projects that exceed 1 week max. So how do you do it?
Building a game engine up to the latest "trends" with all the newest complex rendering techniques would take you about 50 human lifetimes, it isn't a goal for anyone other that big companies like Unreal with large teams of engineers. "hobbyist" games engines are mostly basic and don't try to chase trends as that is completely out of reach. Just reaching 2002 level graphics is a huge achievement for a custom made game engine

NO DON'T DO IT YOU'LL SPEND YEARS WRITING YOUR OS AND END UP WITH A MOUSE CURSOR ON A GREEN SCREEN THAT DOES NOTHING AND ESPECIALLY DOESN'T PLAY YOUR GAME EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE TEXT ADVENTURE GAME YOU WROTE FOR YOUR OS BUT SUBSEQUENTLY BROKE WHEN YOU ADDED IPC SUPPORT!
I mean, it's fun.
@@AugustCoder Yeah, I'm currently trying to make 3d game in an os.
It would maybe be less painful, if I didn't wanted to do it "the ol' way" and just used UEFI like a normal person.
Temple os?
I'm curious to know why you chose C++ of all the languages to make a game engine in
I just wanted to tbh. Most people using OpenGL use C++, generally speaking. I have seen bindings for other languages.
C++ is very performant and has some useful abstractions over C or assembly like OOP which becomes very handy for Engine Development later on. But it's a memory unsafe language so you should use rust btw.
@@unendlicherping318 it's only unsafe if you do a bad job. C++ is designed to give the programmer almost full control of low level memory management
Kind of a weird and loaded question to ask, considering most game engines are made in C++, literally every major game engine is written in C++ (Unity, Unreal, Godot, etc). What was he gonna write it in, Python? Sure, if you want very weak performance, by all means. But you're not gonna get hundreds or even thousands of frames per second like you can with C++. It's a compiled language and creates a native binary executable for the system it's on. Really the only logical option.
@@nick15684 Rust nowadays is seen as a compelling alternative for C++, it has a lot of the features that C++ has, but without the fear of breaking things with manual memory management
That pixelndex calculation is wrong and works only because you have square window. It should be:
((y * windowWidth) + x) * 3
also the bounds checking should not allow x or y to be the width or height respectively.
Oop, looks like I'm stupid (who would have guessed). Thanks!
O(N) set_pixel routine wins you an award!
Sound?

Hey, I don’t know if you still respond to comments on this video but can you tell what app did you use to code. Did you use VS code or something else? And if you did, how’d you set it up?
This was in VSCode, I followed a video to set it up but unfortunately that video is no longer available. I'm sure if you look it up on UA-cam then you'll find something. It is basically just setting up MinGW on windows and that is it.
i think `Lua` can be a good langauge to use
Less self doubt and bad criticism please.
After a few months actually programming, the self doubt and criticism was deserved 🙏
He back
hi, in fact I would like to code projects like you but since I hear here and there that we have to stay at the cutting edge of technology, I tell myself that if I start a project that takes me... let's say 03 months, trends will change and I will no longer be up to date. This means that I abandon all projects that exceed 1 week max. So how do you do it?
There isn't much point in trying to appeal to trends, just do projects that you want to do. :)
Building a game engine up to the latest "trends" with all the newest complex rendering techniques would take you about 50 human lifetimes, it isn't a goal for anyone other that big companies like Unreal with large teams of engineers.
"hobbyist" games engines are mostly basic and don't try to chase trends as that is completely out of reach. Just reaching 2002 level graphics is a huge achievement for a custom made game engine
The reason why I write game engines is because that's were most of the hard challenges are....compared to the game engine, games are dead simple
If you're going to just manually put every pixel into a texture you should just use software rendering
That's basically what it is, since every pixel is basically managed by the CPU. I'm only using OpenGL to display.

I’m really struggling to find an easy to install game library that works on VS code do you have a good library or a good ide for c++?
Raylib is a fun library for C++, not too hard to install and use with VSCode, look for a tutorial for it.
@@Chadderbox ok thanks
next time actually learn how to use shaders and how to use them to run stuff on the gpu because now it is like doing all the rendering using the cpu which is not good at all
Yep, I did say this method was bad :)
I am making a 4D game engine do you Wana colab
I'd love to see it.
@@Chadderbox OK tell communication scr
Bread.
Bread is a good food
@@Chadderbox if you were to describe bread and how it has impacted the world, the climate, as well as the production of solar pannels in an essay, how would you do it?
Wait.... what about audio?!
What did you say? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
In all seriousness, I completely forgot about audio.
try odin instead of C++
it is way simpler and has libs ready
Gonk :]
You could have just used SDL2 and you'd be drawing pixels in software in no time.
sdl2 always got my back o7
