@typeswitch@gamedev.lgbt i dunno about the kids these days, but when i first learned to do transparent rendering 30 years ago the book was like “yeah you can’t actually do this, but sorting by center is probably good enough, and just design your assets around it”

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com @typeswitch@gamedev.lgbt I tried to make a “3D engine” when I was 13. I got as far as projecting a couple of triangles onto the viewport but then when I realized I have to draw them in the correct order and also not draw stuff behind the viewport. I had no idea how to do that, so I gave up, and it scared me off from trying to do any 3D graphics since
