Emacs GPU rendering
Yeah, render Emacs via GPU. We get underlined display server opengl context using surfman or glutin. Since PGTK is gtk, we are using gl_area. Replaced the Cairo drawing with this Firefox's Webrender. Using this, you can except some improvements to rendering. However, I dont know how to do benchmarks regarding GUI rendering.
- glutin 0.30.0 released with major rewrite decoupling from winit

GameRoy: a cross platform and highly accurate Game Boy emulator
But I think this will be solved when I switch back the GL context creation to glutin (thankfully, version 0.30 will decouple from windows creation), and I rewrite sprite-render.

Hide mouse cursor in piston?
Hello, I'm a beginner rust dev trying to make a simple thingy in piston. I've got a picture to follow the mouse cursor, but when I try to hide the cursor with window.set_capture_cursor(true) , it seems like mouse events seize to exist. I found this bug report Mouse Grabbing and MouseMoved Event · Issue #696 · rust-windowing/glutin (github.com) , but that was resolved years ago. I'm using pistoncore-glutin_window = "0.70.1". Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there any other easy way to hide the cursor?

Learn OpenGL with Rust: creating a window
Luckily, there are quite a few libraries out there that provide this functionality, some of them specifically aimed at OpenGL. Those libraries save us all the operation-system specific work and give us a window and an OpenGL context to render in. One of those libraries is glutin. It allows us to create an OpenGL context, define window parameters, and handle user input, which is plenty enough for our purposes.

chocho install neovide || neovide , doesnt start , a window pops up for 1 second and then it closes out and nothing happens
Yeah this is a known issue in VMs https://github.com/rust-windowing/glutin/blob/master/ISSUES.md but I haven't found a way to fix it. It does not even work with llvmpipe mesa, which provides the newest OpenGL drivers.
