β¨ NAME β¨
es2gears β the ``gears'' demo but make it GLES2 π
π SYNOPSIS π
es2gears
That's it bestie. No flags. No args. Just vibes. π¦
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Okay so es2gears is literally a port of the ``gears'' demo over to GLES2, no cap. π«Ά
It shows you a whole set of rotating gears β¨ and, at regular intervals, it prints out the frame rate so you can see what's going on. It's giving very much "spinny little machine that tells you numbers."
And the way that it has become quite popular as a basic benchmarking tool? Iconic. π
