Toot

Considering starting my next C++ game engine using modules to replace #include. Maybe a bad idea but hey we'll find out!

What's some other cool tech worth checking out? atm the plan is:

• #cpp23 or 26, whichever #NixOS supports

• #CMake, though I am curious to learn about other build systems

• #SDL 3.0, and its new SDL_GPU api (I know nothing about it but it looks awesome)

• #dearimgui (docking) to build the interface

Using tags so I hopefully reach the right people :)

@allpurposemat Do yourself a favor and go straight to meson instead of cmake.

@allpurposemat raylib is another one of those graphics libraries I never manage to find the time for to try it out. Maybe interesting to you, though.

@allpurposemat oh, and if you’re crazy enough, you could—not saying you should—use Nix as a build system and package manager for your C++ needs. 😅

@bryanhonof Thanks for the suggestion! I did end up doing (sort of) that, with the project using CMake but all dependencies being fetched via a Nix flake: https://git.allpurposem.at/mat/gooey

Still lots to do before this is even usable, but I am pretty happy with it so far.
