First time I used two VBOs in a render pass. Didn't know glVertexAttribPointer has this magic in it. Also coded two colours in a single uint, which sparks joy. (Had to copy it for each vertex of a quad, which isn't. Faster geometry shaders pls. Or triangle attributes or something.)

Writing a text editor or something.

My favourite is MaryDeath, but Cat's Cafe is also a really good comic

maybe it is all about tools and experience, but my pen doesn't ask for subscription or spying on me

I hate that in non-digital, you can create with elegant uniqueness with ease, while I suffer to make a decent scene in pixels -- but with digital the joy is to make it interactive, so I'm not changing yet.

Et les lilas sont morts

yeah umm maybe not
IntBuffer pWidth = stack.mallocInt(1); // int*

LWJGL has Vulkan binding, might make learning easier than C. Question is, do I want to install Java? Couldn't find any Python binding I would trust.

Huh, I have a graphical OpenCL app. Don't know if it worth it, needs a serious optimization.

Anyway, my GPU babel project is starting to look something:
https://github.com/curved-ruler/gpu-init

But even in these small programs, there are way too many bugs. Maybe GPU programming is not for me after all.

Can't wait for Vulkan 3.1

Also:
OpenGL: vec3(a,b,c)
OpenCL: (float3)(a,b,c)

Dear Khronos, seriously?
OpenGL: genType fract(genType x)
OpenCL: gentype fract(gentype x, gentype *itpr)

Not just GPUs are getting pricier (not only the shortage, anyway), they consume more so they will die sooner. 75W please.

Square grid, 2 transforms

These are hex grids, with complex functions (transformations) applied. Moving the grid gives a nice kaleidoscope-like thing.
