How OpenGL Graphics Programming Works | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #4

Join the Discord: / discord
In this tutorial, I explain the graphics pipeline, and the process of converting a list of 3D points in game world coordinates (a mesh), into a picture to display on the end-user's device. I also give a thorough explanation of how Vertex shaders and Fragment shaders work, from how they accept input, to how they are compiled and linked together. I also explain how to use VBO's, VAO's, and EBO's to pass the vertex data from the CPU to the GPU. This is all explained in light of OpenGL programming for LWJGL.

I still hardly believe you can get free education on this level.

[@Harshkumar-gu1nt]

Yeaa true. He explains so damn well

[@idk23535]

Yeah, it is great we have people that is willing to put a lot of effort into something like this!

[@smipealex3173]

Thank you. I'm Russian with little knowledge of English, but I understand everything. Thank you for the easy language in your videos

[@kevinbrewster3115]

This is really good and informative, keep up the good work!

[@GamesWithGabe]

Thanks Kevin! I'm glad you're enjoying the series and appreciate the positive feedback :D

[@Harshkumar-gu1nt]

Your explanation is so clear. I just loved it. Thank you very much for making such awesome tutorials.
Keep up the good work.❣️👍

[@jonathancamarena3117]

just want to say thank you man, your videos are so insightful.

[@woarey8800]

Bro i have been looking for so long to find a good tutorial on LWJGL and im so glad i finally found this series! You explain everyting in detail and now things finally start making sense to me :D
Love you man, keep up the work

[@daveeska]

This video should get way more attentions!
Thank you so much for the video :)

[@dc1049]

Very nice explanation. Thanks for the series!

[@hiderr6805]

I'm really grateful for that video! You explain things really well I was looking for video like this :D

[@GamesWithGabe]

Thanks again @Hiderr :)

[@lenori1]

Spectacular Video

[@grandbase2720]

Nice Work...

[@sharkpyro93]

this is the best tutorial on the topic on the entire web, do you plan on doing a 3D series at some point?

[@GamesWithGabe]

Hey thanks stamina! I do eventually want to go over 3D concepts, and I'm probably going to start that with a how-to code minecraft series sometime next year :)

[@sharkpyro93]

@@GamesWithGabe sounds good, keep it up

[@metalheadmaniac8686]

this stuff is so interesting

[@GamesWithGabe]

Thanks @MetalHeadManiac! I'm glad you're enjoying it :)

Hey mate, I love this series so far. My game seems to be artificially capped at 15fps. My computer is more than capable of running this at much higher speeds, would could be the cause? Cheers

[@GamesWithGabe]

Hey Tom, thanks for the comment! And there seems to be some sort of bug with java's system.nanotime (). I fix this in a later episode by replacing all the time.getTime () calls with glfwGetTime ().

[@dkir5933]

Was considering using aparapi at first but i guess for an actual game engine, coding it with openGL direcly just is the better option

[@xenten9686]

Just in case anyone else has a similar issues, I had a problem where nothing would draw and I went over every line and even swapped code with the repo until I eventually found out, setting the wrong vertexSizeBytes does not lead to an error, it just causes nothing to work without any sort of error to warn you.

I LOVE YOU

Thin Matrix is God of LWJGL

[@monkey5266]

So as far as I understand shaders are magic and I should have payed more attention in biology and been a docter because that seems easier
