Here's all the work that went into the next version of the game. -> Commits Lemme know what you think of me doing a more overview-style of the progress. I'm not diving into the code as much and am starting to focus a bit more on the game design. After all, I think that's the more important part now. Putting all focus towards the question: How do we make a fun game?

I added bloom with the new update to Ooga Booga Engine to our game. I use point lights along with the bloom shader to achieve the effect!

SOLUTION: In your bloom shaders, you want to add this "if statement". To correctly draw the text. if (input.type == QUAD_TYPE_TEXT) return color; QUESTION: I'm currently halfway done with implementing Bloom in my game. I have a problem with text, when using the draw_text_in_frame it renders a rectangle instead of the text. I will attach an image example: It would be nice if the text could be rendered with the bloom shader. My current workaround is to draw_text after the shaders are done. Like how the buttons in the example are rendered.

Another version of oogabooga is shipped, including an example implementing a bloom post-process effect using the new shader extension system. See changelog.txt for a full list of changes.

I'm working on implementing a bloom effect using the Ooga Booga game engine, but I'm having trouble. Specifically, I need to capture each frame before the gfx_update() call to apply the bloom filter to every pixel. I will attach the .hlsl shaders file that ChatGPT cooked up. --- UPDATE --- I got a function that can separate the screen's dark and bright areas using the float4 color in hlsl. The remaining problem is how to implement the blurring of the screen. To blur something we need the neighbouring pixels to the pixel we are working with... Hopefully, someone smarter than me knows how to do this. (I have updated the shaders.hlsl to the one that i'm currently working with)
