我們需要的是世界級的網路公司

-
這張表是網路女王Mary在2010年的研究報告。看了這張表我有了以下幾個想法：
  1. 網路產業環境是很激烈的，在六年內霸主換了將近一半。
  2. 中國網路公司大躍進，從2004年一家到現在有了三家。
  3. 2004年的領先群有兩家遊戲公司(Shanda, NcSoft)，ㄧ家遊戲平台(NHN)。 [NHN同時也有搜尋服務平台]，到了2010年專門的網路遊戲開發公司不見了，易主成兩家遊戲平台(Tencent, NHN)。
  4. 雖然領先群很多都易主了，但是大家總市值其實都成長了兩倍，營收甚至是漲了五倍。 
網路的產業在過去十年是在爆發性成長的，中國大陸整個很積極的進入了世界的領先群，我們自己台灣也該多多認真對待這個產業，它才是整個國家應該投資的未來經濟，一個爆發性的產業走對了，營收六年內增加五倍，想想看他可以替國家帶來多少進步。

國內可以共同協力打造一個遊戲平台，目標是像騰訊那樣，可以讓許多開發公司在此讓產品上架，節省通路，節制盜版，整合大家的金流。一個專屬的網路平台上面的廣告效益一定很大，又能夠幫助許多台灣認真打拼的遊戲開發商。我覺得現在的台灣遊戲界需要的不是遊戲營運商，我們需要的遊戲社群平台。

再者，網路這個產業本身就是高知識密集的，可以大幅度減少環境污染與土地消耗，甚至不尋常的製造業輪班制，這才是國家該選擇的產業轉型吧...

Drawing textured cube with Vulkan on Android

Vulkan is a modern hardware-accelerated Graphics API. Its goal is providing an high efficient way in low-level graphics and compute on modern GPUs for PC, mobile, and embedded devices. I am personally working a self training project, vulkan-android , to teach myself how to use this new APIs. The difference between OpenGL and Vulkan OpenGL: Higher level API in comparison with Vulkan, and the next generation of OpenGL 4 will be Vulkan.   Cross-platform and Cross-language (mostly still based on C/C++, but people implemented diverse versions and expose similar API binding based on OpenGL C++, WebGL is a good example).  Mainly used in 3D graphics and 2D image processing to interact with GPU in order to achieve hardware acceleration. Don't have a command buffer can be manipulated at the application side. That means we will be easily see draw calls being the performance bottleneck in a big and complex 3D scene. Vulkan: Cross-platform and low-overhead. Erase the boundary between GPU API an

glTF loader for Android Vulkan

This post is going to introduce how we integrate with an existing glTF loader library to make it be able to show glTF models in our Vulkan rendering framework,  vulkan-android . tinygltf In the beginning, we don't want to make our new own wheel, so choosing  tinygltf as our glTF loader. tinygltf is a C++11 based library that would help us support all possible cross-platform project easily. tinygltf setup in Android Studio In  vulkan-android  project, we put third party libraries into third_party folder. Therefore, we need to include tinygltf from third_party folder in app/CMakeLists.txt as below. set(THIRD_PARTY_DIR ../../third_party) include_directories(${THIRD_PARTY_DIR}/tinygltf) Model loading from tinygltf We are going to load a gltf ASCII or binary format model from the storage. tinygltf provides two APIs , they are LoadBinaryFromFile() and LoadASCIIFromFile() respectively based on the extension name is *.glb or *.gltf. TinyGLTF loader will return a tinygltf Model that incl

C++ unit testing & CI integration in GitHub (I/2)

I am working on a side project,  Vulkan-Android , that is based on Java, JNI, C++, and Vulkan for Android platform. It also uses my C++ math library. Therefore, the requirement of my build and unit tests are around C++. First of all, I would make sure the unit tests in local are run properly. C++ unit test on Mac OS On Mac OS, I think the most convenient way to do unit testing for C++ is writing XCT in Xcode. In the beginning, we need to create a test plan in Xcode. It will helps us create a schema, then, in the test navigator, create a new Unit Test Target. Due to XCT was originally designed for Objective-C or Swift, if we wanna test our C++ code, we need a workaround by making the file extension name to be *.mm . And then, write down the unit tests as below: #import <XCTest/XCTest.h> #include "Vector3d.h" using namespace gfx_math; @interface testVector3D : XCTestCase @end @implementation testVector3D - (void)setUp { // Put setup code here. This method is cal
