Welcome back to another development update for the nCine, covering what has been accomplished in the first part of this year.

In this article, we’ll go over the progress of the nCine throughout 2024. OpenAL EFX The biggest change this year has been support for the OpenAL EFX extension. You can now apply effects to any audio player, like reverb, echo, flanger, and more, and use low and high-pass filters.

Lately, the development rate of the nCine slowed down a bit. I think it is normal for a project that spans so many years, and developed by a single person, to see some oscillations. This is why this article covers such a long period, a period in which there have been maybe a few new features, but important ones.

Yet another update coming after a very long time since the previous, apologies for that. Well, at least it comes packed with a lot of enhancements from the last months. 💪

After a very long time without an update, here comes a new one. It is filled with all the work done in the last six months. 💪

I have spent nearly two months on a big task this spring: custom memory allocators. They can be useful in different scenarios to alleviate the performance cost of allocating and deallocating memory.

Welcome to another nCine development update! As usual, there are a lot of new things to cover. ANGLE To extend the support to more devices and platforms I have ported the nCine to ANGLE. It was an easy task as I just needed to tell GLFW and SDL2 to use EGL and open an OpenGL ES 3.0 context on Windows.

After all the work carried out during the last months and culminated in the previous update, I took some time to experiment with some different things. I wanted to leave the rendering side for a bit and take a look at how to optimize other parts of the engine.
