Liquid_Platform_Manager

A Cross-Platform Window Manager similar to GLFW written in C99

---- How To Show A Window ----

1. Initialize the platform layer
2. Create a loop to poll for events
3. destroy the window when no longer needed

Platform_Init() Initializes the platform layer and returns true on success:

bool platform_init(platform_state* state, const char* app_name, int width, int height);

Platform_Poll_Events() Listens for platform-specific messages/events:

bool platform_poll_events(platform_state* state);

Platform_Shutdown() Destroys the platform instance and free's any memory if any has been allocated:

bool platform_shutdown(platform_state* state);

BASIC EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CREATE A WINDOW

int main(){

    platform_state state;
    if(platform_init(&state, "Basic Window", 640, 400)){
        while(state.isRunning){
            platform_poll_events(&state);
        }
    }
    platform_shutdown(&state);

    return 0;
}

Platform_State?

This is a structure that holds two variables.

• It contains a void pointer* to the internal_state which contains further information.
• It also contains a global variable of type bool, isRunning which holds true if platform is actively running or false if it is not.

Tasks

This project is not completed and thus further updates will still be issued. Here are some of the main tasks that still need to be completed.

• Add Mac Support
• Add Windows Support
• Add Linux Support
• Add Support for any Graphics Pipeline (Vulkan, OpengGL, DirectX) etc.
• Add Flexible Event System
