@charles_irl Ya’ll do influencer partnerships 🤔? Asking cause I run a C++ deep-dive YT channel with ~30k subs and ~150k monthly views.

@EIiasNajarro Nice! Did you use TS or Rust to make it?

Did you know about the compiler optimization that PREVENTS moving the stack pointer for a leaf function? I certainly didn't and was confused reading the generated x86 assembly. C++ deep dive on my YouTube channel 🫡

Ever wonder how C++ stack frames get created and destroyed? Or how %rbp and %rsp work? I go over the details by stepping through some x86 assembly in LLDB. C++ tutorial is on my YouTube channel 🫡

@TheCherno This would be interesting! Would you use WebGPU?

C++ WebGPU Shader Engine (part 19) Here's a demo which stitches frames together using FFmpeg. Each image was auto captured during a hot reload. Please excuse the 2 FPS, that is by design. The goal is to have a tool that can show the iterative process of shader development!

C++ WebGPU Shader Engine (part 18) Implemented a feature to capture images whenever I hot reload a WGSL shader! The goal is to use FFmpeg to stitch these images into a video. This reduces the number of times I need to open screen capture to record.

Made a 12 minute tutorial going over how to set up and use the C++ debugger in VS Code. Video is live on my YouTube channel!

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 17) Spent the last 2 days cleaning up tech debt created from mindlessly copy pasting AI generated code. The project is finally at a good pausing point! Here's one final demo (for now).

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 14) Finally working on an option to import noise textures. Code is complete AI slop. Need to fix it at some point.

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 13) Couldn't stop myself from adding more features. Using the node editor seemed a bit excessive so I implemented a simpler way to add and customize post processing effects.
