@Hapax: I am well aware of the mantra "Make games, not engines", but as it happens to be, I really like doing the engine / framework stuff  ;D (which also means I am making the most over-engineered Pong clone ever, currently at 46 code files and still not done, whereas my first working Pong clone was done in one code file  ;D )
But the debug draw overlay was really needed to further tweak the physics of the game, and without visual debugging, this is near to impossible.

@AncientGrief:
Yes I implemented that with the pre-processor, working with #ifdef _DEBUG #else #endif constructs. The drawing itself is handled in the base entity class via a split-up draw function. Entity.draw() just calculates the combined transformation and than calls drawCurrent(...) (which is virtual and overridden in derived classes) and if debug draw is enabled it calls drawDebug(...). Not very elegant but working, also this way the whole debug logic is not present in release builds, because it really hurts performance, like cutting framerate to 25% of release performance.

You can see for yourself if you want https://github.com/SeriousITGuy/SFML-Pong
(Entity.cpp and GameWorld.cpp are of special interest for the debug drawing)

Been working on some lighting and effects for my engine recently. Decided to test it out with a foliage scene:

I'm having more fun than I should implementing this custom formation feature

Fewes, that lighting/wind screenshot (and video) looks rather impressive. Nice work  :)

Fewes, wow, this is pretty good! Can you give us more details about what you did to make it so good? Shaders? Lots of layers?

Once thing I don't like is that trees don't shake like this in real life, they're much more stable. Their branches may be affected by the wind, but the trunk stays still unless the wind is very strong. :D

Lovely billboards, you're using sfml to create the openGL context and the HUD isn't ?

Glad you like it! Really at the center of the renderer is the z info each object writes to a RenderTexture (which is also used for view transformation). There's several other buffers containing info used for the lighting as well as about 30 shaders doing various things; some small and some big.  :)

Here's a small breakdown of the buffers (just recently added normal mapped lighting):

Damn, that's really impressive. Love the things you can do in shaders, especially with stuff like lighting.
Can you give a little insight how you created the normal maps? Did you use some normal mapper or did you have them drawn by hand? Only asking this because they are extraordinary clean.

Thanks! They are actually created by baking 3D models down to textures:

A little I8080 based arcade emulator I've been working on, using SFML for rending / input / audio :)

Still lacking some gameplay screenshot(s) - because i only started 1 week ago lol - here's at least a piece of a choice scene in the game. It's somewhat unpolished, but it demonstrates the art style i want to use in the game:



Be gentle please! :D
