Here’s the beginning of a new series on OpenGL ES 2.0 for iOS, using Apple’s GLKit.

ROBOVM BACKEND IN LIBGDX NIGHTLIES AND FIRST PERFORMANCE FIGURES! - Libgdx is moving to a new backend for iOS that uses RoboVM, a Java to machine code compiler for iOS. Initial performance figures look good!

Zero to Sixty in One Second - the developer & designer behind acko.net has redesigned his header and website using WebGL, and I have to say that it looks very cool.

And now for something completely different…

Using runtime-compiled C++ code as a scripting language.

As some of you may already know, Apple recently announced the iPhone 5s & 5c at their annual iPhone event, and one of the new updates is that the iPhone 5s will also be coming with support for OpenGL ES 3.0! Google announced support for OpenGL ES 3.0 with their release of Android 4.3 not too long ago, so the new version is slowly making its way onto mobile devices.

OpenGL ES 3.0 is backwards-compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0, so everything you learned about OpenGL ES 2.0 still applies. This post from Phoronix goes into more detail about what the new version brings: A Look At OpenGL ES 3.0: Lots Of Good Stuff.

On to the roundup:

Project Anarchy - “Project Anarchy is a complete end to end game engine and state-of-the-art toolset for mobile. Project Anarchy also comprises a vibrant game development community centered right here at www.projectanarchy.com. Project Anarchy includes an entirely free license to ship your game on iOS, Android and Tizen platforms.”

Announcing the New Forums, and a Roundup!

3 Comments

Starting from today, Learn OpenGL ES now has a new community section of the site with a new set of forums! [Edit: Due to some technical issues and low usage, I have disabled the forums until further notice. I would still like to have a forums section in the future, so they can come back if the comments section proves to be inadequate. Thanks!] I’ve also switched themes, so please let me know if you find any issues, have feedback or miss anything from the old theme!

On to the roundup:

I’m also happy to announce that in the spirit of sharing with the community, all of the content on this site is now licensed under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. Please feel free to reuse and share in the spirit of CC-BY-SA 3.0.

It’s almost Halloween, which means it’s time to showcase another great set of apps and posts from the community. :)

First up, we have…

Wubbly Bubble Live Wallpaper

This interesting and lively live wallpaper renders a deforming 3D bubble to your home screen, with five different themes, many options for customization, and it runs on a wide range of devices. Download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Ephemeral

Next up we have…

Blu Mountain Live Wallpaper

This is a very peaceful and relaxing live wallpaper, overlooking Mt. Fuji. You can watch the waves of the rhythmic water, and see the tranquil Sakura leaves fall gracefully as you overlook one of Japan’s most beloved national treasures.

This wallpaper supports the latest tablets, and works well with any Android theme or layout. It also features an upgrade to full HD art. Download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blubee.wp
