olc::PixelGameEngine 3.0 Open Beta, PGE2 to PGE3 tips...

On a usual day, javidx9 draws around 2,500 views, and these seven days hardly moved from that. There were no new uploads. The video doing the most work is the one that matters most to the channel's regulars: "olc::PixelGameEngine 3.0 Open Beta, PGE2 to PGE3 tips..."

PixelGameEngine is the single-header C++ library David Barr, the programmer behind One Lone Coder, built so beginners could put pixels on a screen without wrestling a graphics API first. Version 3.0 is in open beta, and the 25-day-old video walks existing users through porting their projects from PGE2. It has passed 37,000 views, and it is still picking up several times more each day than anything else on the shelf.

The older favorites are still moving too. The first is a Conway's Game of Life simulation that uses sparse encoding to stretch the playing field to 2^64 cells, close to 100,000 views more than a year after it went up. The second is "Life, Dev, Jam & Shed," a catch-up that points ahead to the annual OLC CodeJam, running a little later than usual this year.

The subscriber count held at 332,000. Among the technology channels nearest javidx9 in size, Microsoft Surface had the big week on the back of a new laptop launch, and Jabrils, another creator who teaches code, ran well past his usual pace.
