ENHANCEMENT: Chapter Recommendations #20

As I have been reading through the book, I have a few ideas for future chapters that you can add (solely graphics).

Anti-Aliasing (SMAA, MSAA, FXAA, etc.)
Frustum Culling
Occlusion Culling I would also recommend looking back at your shaders. After you attach a shader to a program, you can delete it, as it will delete the plain-text version of the shader from the GPU, while leaving the compiled version active.

Many thanks for your suggestions.

nickclark2016 commented 7 years ago

No problem!

I have something that might be of interest to you. I have a debugging utility for OpenGL and GLFW. I don't mind if you use this in the future! I enjoy what you are doing. Please keep up the good work!

Very interesting tool. In fact, this something that can be very useful. I will have a look at it.

Another recommendation for you:

When processing things for rendering, use Java 8's streams. When I submitted everything to a map for rendering, I found that it was more efficient to use parallel streams to add each entity to a map. This way, when entities are submitted, less time is spent on computing with respect to the rendering!
