Recreating Noitas Sand Simulation in C and OpenGL | Game Engineering

#cpp #OpenGL #Game #Engine #Games
Exploring and attempting to recreate Noitas “Falling-Sand” Simulation from scratch using C and OpenGL.

Be sure to like and subscribe, you cool people. That way I can continue to make more vids
like this.

NOTE: Theres a typo @2:07. I wrote “bytes” when it should be “bits” for the gs_vec2, color_t, and b32 member variables for the particle struct. So the overall size should be drastically different (only 24 bytes in total). Sorry for the confusion!
