What is the proper way of ensuring non-exclusive borderless fullscreen on Windows + OpenGL?

Using windowed + borderless flags in SDL still results in exclusive fullscreen:

How do most games implement this sanely?

#cpp #gamedev #sdl #sdl3

Any #opengl wizard interested in helping me demystifying an incredibly weird bug where an innocuous `glGetIntegerv` call causes an unrelated assertion failure? 🤨

@aras awesome, thanks! It's a bit of a hack right now, but hopefully you'll be able to guide me in the right direction to clean it up.

As part of my battle against long #cpp compilation times, I've opened a (work-in-progress) PR for @aras excellent ClangBuildAnalyzer to add an approximate origin of expensive template instantiations:

Released a major update today, adding #speedrun mode to my #indie game BubbleByte! 🫧🐱

Here's short #cpp article on a simple yet suprisingly effective implementation of automatic draw batching in my fork of SFML 🚀

@sschoener Sounds really interesting, do you have some examples of the "million small changes" that are made?

Reviews like this remind me why I pour my heart into #gamedev. Every late night was worth it. 🌙

Fellow fast #cpp compilation time enjoyers, has anyone figured out a way of defaulting C++20's spaceship operator (`<=>`) without having to include `<compare>`?

At the very least, defaulted equality does not require the header...

Just published a short #cpp article that benchmarks the AoS (Array of Structures) layout versus the SoA (Structure of Arrays) layout in a 2D particle simulation.

You can try out the benchmark right in your browser!
