Fewer features, please

Today I learned that a "snow" release (in the context of Apple, at least) means a software release that removes more features than it adds. I don't know much about Apple software, but in general this sounds like a potentially valuable strategy, particularly for mature projects suffering from bloat.

iOS?

So I got a MacBook for work and I'm curious if I can build the game for iOS and macOS and how the game's going, hopefully I'll be able to release the game for those platforms so I can get more players. Also what do you think about releasing the desktop version on Steam?

How To Use Presenter Overlay In MacOS Sonoma

In macOS Sonoma, Presenter Overlay is a new feature in the FaceTime and video conferencing apps that allows you to keep yourself in view while sharing your screen or content with others. Here’s how you can use Presenter Overlay in macOS Sonoma:

Open a video conferencing app: Presenter Overlay can be accessed while using video conferencing apps like FaceTime, Zoom, or other supported apps.

Start a video call: Begin a video call in the app you are using.

Activate screen sharing: Start screen sharing in your video call. The specific method for this may vary depending on the app you are using.

Access Presenter Overlay: Look for a new option or button in the app’s interface that allows you to enable Presenter Overlay. This feature may be labeled differently depending on the app you are using, but it should be related to your camera or video options.

Choose the overlay style: Once you’ve activated Presenter Overlay, you may have different styles to choose from:

Small Overlay: Your video feed appears as a small circle on the screen.

Large Overlay: Your video feed appears as a larger circle, placing you more prominently on the screen.

Full Screen: You appear in full screen, while your content is overlaid on top.

Adjust your position: Depending on the overlay style, you can adjust your position on the screen, such as moving the small or large circle to a different corner of the screen.

Present your content: With Presenter Overlay active, you can now present your content to the other participants in the video call while remaining in view.

This feature allows you to share your screen or present content without disappearing from view, making your presentations more engaging.

Advanced macOS Command-Line Tools

macOS is fortunate to have access to the huge arsenal of standard Unix tools. There are also a good number of macOS-specific command-line utilities that provide unique macOS functionality. To view the full documentation for any of these commands, run man <command>.

Have you got an old Mac that is no longer supported by Apple? It's time to give it a new life.

How to install the latest MacOS on Mac hardware that is no longer officially supported using OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

I recently discovered this and it has been a game changer. Recently my partner needed a Mac for her music course, so we bought a 2012 Macbook Pro as it was cheap and on paper still had decent hardware for working with music. We were then disappointed to find out that it is no longer supported by Apple, and therefore can't run the latest version of Logic, which she needed to inter-op with the school comptuers. Just as we thought we had bought a less than useful computer, I found this video about OpenCore Legacy Patcher from Youtuber Action Retro.

It's a community made piece of software that allows you to install the latest version of MacOS on any Intel Mac, from the late 2000s onwards. All you need to do is download the application on a mac, it will then allow you to make a bootable USB drive for any version of MacOS you want, and you just need to choose the specific mac you are targeting from a list, and it "blesses" the bootable drive, allowing you to install it on your unsupported mac using the normal install process.

I tried it and it it worked perfectly on the 2012 Macbook Pro, and the latest version of MacOS Sonoma is running perfectly well on the 12 year old hardware. It also allowed us to install the latest version of Logic, so it's working great.

Props to the team for making this and allowing hardware that would otherwise be e-waste to continue to be usable with the modern internet and software. If you end up using it, please consider donating to the team as apparently they had to jump through some serious technical hoops to get this working.

Screenshots and video ahead

With help from Spasi over at the LWJGL Forum, I got TriangleFan meshes working on macOS yesterday. It was tougher than I expected.

To deal with a nonconforming Vulkan device, you must enable the KHRPortabilitySubset device extension, but conforming devices don't implement that extension. So you must check its availability before enabling it.

To find out what features the nonconforming device lacks, you must invoke the vkGetPhysicalDeviceFeatures2KHR() method. But if you haven't enabled the KHRGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2 instance extension, you'll get a puzzling NullPointerException instead. (Guess how I know this!)

Once the app knows TriangleFan is unimplemented, it checks each mesh entering the graphics pipeline. If the mesh is a TriangleFan, my code silently converts it to a TriangleList. (That was the easy part.)

With that issue resolved, most of my physics demos and tutorials seem to work. (Soft-body physics not included.) My plan is to port/test/commit the apps one by one, generating screenshots and/or video as I go.

I plan to post the best of those screenshots and videos here. Stay tuned!
