316+ ### [ Geng] [ geng ]
317+
318+ [ Geng] [ geng ] by [ @kuviman ] is a game engine that is used by him & friends
319+ for mostly making small games for game jams.
320+
321+ The focus is to work on the web first (using WebGL1),
322+ but can also work easily on native platforms.
323+
324+ Font rendering is done using sdf textures,
325+ which are being created on GPU based on [ this article] [ sdf-on-gpu ] .
326+ Some font improvements from February:
327+
328+ - better curve approximation (still can be done better like in the article)
329+ - use euclidean distance instead of manhattan
330+ - added a method to create sdf texture for text
331+ (previously font only had sdf texture atlas with every glyph)
332+
333+ Support was added for OpenGL blend equations - e.g. minmax blending,
334+ which is now used instead of depth buffer for sdf textures
335+
336+ Also, some improvements related to sound:
337+ API to query ` Sound ` duration,
338+ starting sound playback from specific position,
339+ and changing the speed of ` SoundEffect ` .
