Why I prefer "native" games

I like the movement of HTML5 and WebGL.
But I still prefer native gaming.
A simple argument: performance.
Just compare those two implementations.

[BGE, Qt5] Coding Blender Game Engine

The Blender Game Engine lacks features. But as it's Open Source you can improve it as you like.

I thought so myself and tried to do it. Here is a short log on what I did.

While working with BGE I found some points that could need improvement or would be nice to have implemented. Here is a little list I came up with:

[BGE + GLSL] GLSL Shader Repository Addon

The Blender Game Engine can make use of shader written in GLSL. In the standard version you can easily use vertex and fragment shader for your objects and fragment shader for post-processing (also known as 2D Filter).

Humble Bundle for Android 5 on Debian 64Bit

There is currently a new "Humble Bundle for Android 5" at https://www.humblebundle.com/

[SVN + Mercurial] Mirroring and using an SVN repository with Mercurial

For trying some code changes in the Blender Game Engine I needed its code. It is accessible via SVN from https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/
With Git and Mercurial around I'm used to do local changes, commit them locally and maybe undo them if I made mistakes. With SVN this is not possible.

[BGE + GLSL] Py GL Rant

Let's do this.

Blender Game Engine.
It is nice.

But it also has its problems. Just like everything else.
This time I had a hard time doing some GLSL shaders. Not the normal ones.

[BGE+GLSL] Finding interest points

Interest Points

I learned a bit in a class called "Computer Vision".

One thing was "finding interest points". 

Basically when you have a picture and give it to your computer it doesn't know anything what to do with it. It's just plain boring data. Every point is as interesting as every other. On some images you might have the same feeling. On others you recognize things which gives it more value then just color. 

But what makes the difference?

How do you see something?
