carbon - v0.15-alpha

Cool stuff has been cooked! 🧑‍🍳 And more it'll come... 😉

PRs Merged

Implement audio subsystem by @iWas-Coder in https://github.com/sparky-game/carbon/pull/51

Also, as always, we polished some code, fixed some bugs, documented some undocumented things... you know, usual stuff. 😸

Key features 🚀

Full SKAP (Sparky Asset Pack) format support: A complete implementation of the SKAP format now enables reading and writing of assets and metadata.
Keccak‑256 Hashing Algorithm: We’ve added our own Keccak‑256 implementation for signatures and integrity checks, accompanied by an official test‑vector suite to ensure correctness.
New C++ graphics abstractions: cbn::DrawCanvas, a generic drawing layer for rectangles, lines and text; cbn::win::ForFrame<T>, a templated frame loop with precise time control; rectangle scaling with linear interpolation (lerp) and an integer modulus operator (imod) for smooth animations.
Optional generic type: Introduced Opt<T> to handle values that may or may not be present, eliminating awkward nullptr or exception handling patterns.

Also, as always, we polished some code, fixed some bugs, documented some undocumented things... you know, usual stuff. 😸

In the printing functions and macros, we upgraded from a runtime ternary operation with type identification for mapping type and printf-style specifiers, to a fully compile-time procedure, using _Generic in C and templated and overloaded constexpr function in C++.

Improved and refined coroutines API; there's no longer the need to explicitly initialize and shutdown the feature! 🚀 Simple example in C++: cpp carbon_println("[%zu] Hello, World!", carbon_coroutine_id()); carbon_coroutine_go([](void *){ carbon_println("[%zu] Hello, Async!", carbon_coroutine_id()); }, 0); carbon_coroutine_yield();

carbon - v0.12-alpha

We even can display graphics! 😸

Polished also some code, and fixed some bugs... Documentation (in the header file itself) is also getting there 😅 Furthermore, now, on the prebuilt packages, we don't ship any implementation nor vendor source code whatsoever; all's included in the actual prebuilt static and dynamic library files. We've made sure all works fine in that scenario (obviously, without needing to define CARBON_IMPLEMENTATION macro, because we don't have any source code! Duh 🙃).

carbon - v0.11-alpha

We're getting beefier, and that's great!

We highlight from this release the new coroutines API to do asynchronous work super easily in pure C. Try it out now! 😄

carbon - v0.10-alpha

C with string interpolation? 🤔 No more confusing format specifiers? No way! 😮 Yeah, Carbon is that great 🎉

c const char *name = "Wasym"; const u8 age = 23; carbon_println("My name is %$, and I am %$ years old", $(name), $(age));

As you saw, we're using these 2 new things: - %$ placeholder: in the same old printf-style, these automatically can infer the type of the variable, and use the appropriate formatting for it. Obviously, you can still use the specific format specifiers if you prefer to do so. 😉 - $(...) boxing macro: these are used to wrap around the variables you want to print using the %$ placeholder. As C cannot do any reflection or compile-time type manipulation, we need to do the work at runtime with this handy-dandy macro. 😎

[!WARNING] The $(...) boxing macro only works with lvalues, i.e. variables stored in a way where its address can be retrieved with the & operator.

Also, logging functions have been reorganized (carbon_log_info, carbon_log_warn, carbon_log_error), which uses our string interpolation mechanism under the hood.
