Wow, that's exactly what I have, a MODI 2. Time for a change I guess

Entities that can't be picked, don't write to the texture, entities that can be picked, write to the texture their id. Whatever is closer to the camera will be the id that stays there (same as a color pixel, but instead of the object color you can think object id). So you are limited at one ID per pixel, but for me that works.

Well, it's significantly easier to implement than a octree. Game is actually 3D under the hood, projected at a careful angle to look isometric 2D.

The reason the game is 3D has to do with partially visible things being way easier than with isometric textures layered in the right order.

Also, now that i just grab a pixel back from the GPU, it's no overhead at all (to construct or get the data for it).

Let’s be honest, LLMs aren’t yet ready to replace engineers. However it’s prime time to replace your average manager with one

I played lots of quake2-3 but that wasn't the golden age. Now you have even better selection for competitive gaming, like CS Go, valorant with their 128 ticks/s servers.

I'd actually love to do a more in-depth presentation of the internals and how stuff works together. Who knows, maybe in a future post :)

If you have any specific question, I could try to answer it here.

You can easily tag imgui update/render times in profiling sessions. Then they are isolated from the rest of the work that's happening.

Emscriptem is targeted at browsers and for that rust does have the target wasm32-unknown-emscripten

However, when targeting wasm outside browsers wasm32-wasi is usually a better option.

It's actually Web assembly micro runtime (still from bytecode alliance but it's a vm that also supports interpreted mode)
