While venturing into the world of LLVM I had trouble figuring out a couple of things, most of the time because people would show IR but not the actual api calls to get there. So I decided to set up this page as a reference for myself and others for things that seem a little…
Implementing C++ tuples from scratch
I’m currently in the process of writing my own c++ inspired embedded scripting language for the game engine I’m working on, and the current feature that I’m working is implementing templates. Hopefully it’ll make it so that engine ECS api code is much cleaner. Anyway, while working on this I realized that at some point…
Brane Engine Weekly Update #5
We now have rendering in the editor my friends! After an entire week of refactoring the graphics backend, one of the most important features of the engine is fully functional.

How to manually read GLTF files
I’m currently working on a game engine, and one very important part of that is being able to import 3D models. And at the moment GLTF files are a great method for doing that due to their open-source nature. There’s also the benefit that a good bit of GLTF data is human-readable, allowing us to…
What Is The Metaverse? -From a VR Programmer

I’ve Started Streaming While Coding
Hey everyone, as the title states, I’ve started streaming while coding. What this means is that if you want you can come on over to my twitch and hang out as I work on my personal projects such as BraneEngine. I’m not cosistant with it yet but I plan on getting my act together soon.…
