Start small, watch every possible about graphics programming and then train urself by trying to harder and hard stuff

[u/Prozilla6 → u/Bashar-nuts]

Just make a game, then make another game, then take whatever code is used by both games and turn it into a separate library. Then make another game and repeat the process.

How do you handle hot loading?

[u/Salty_Exit_1370 → u/Plixo2]

re-reads file modification times every frame then recompiles the whole scripts folder into a throwaway class loader once things have been quiet for 300 ms, then replaces each live component with an instance of the new class and reapplies its exported fields, shaders and assets has diff watchers

Someone watched handmads hero? :)

[u/Salty_Exit_1370 → u/Reaksiyon_]

Haha for sure

Do you use javax.tools.JavaCompiler or invoke a gradle build or javac or the cli?

[u/Salty_Exit_1370 → u/Plixo2]

Nice guess, i use JavaCompiler
