Tetra v0.5.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-12-20 // over 3 years ago

  • ➕ Added

    • graphics::get_front_face_winding and graphics::set_front_face_winding have been added, allowing the winding order of geometry to be changed.
      • This is useful if you are working with a library that only outputs clockwise-ordered data (e.g. ImGUI).
    • 💾 ContextBuilder::screen_saver_enabled, window::set_screen_saver_enabled and window::is_screen_saver_enabled have been added, allowing you to control whether the user's screensaver can activate while playing your game. (@sumibi-yakitori in #216)

    🔄 Changed

    • Backface culling has been re-enabled, as the winding order of geometry can now be overridden.
    • The game loop now calls std::thread::sleep instead of std::thread::yield_now at the end of each iteration.
      • This provides some basic frame-limiting when running without vsync, and prevents CPU usage skyrocketing on some systems.
