Yet another game framework, being my third attempt at making one.
The test application was moved to a separate repository for organizational reasons, which can be found here: https://github.com/r0neko/AiFrameworkTestApp
You are an Windows user? We gotchu! Install these requirements and then the code will magically work!
vcpkg install glad[wgl]:x86-windows-static-md opengl:x86-windows-static-md glm:x86-windows-static-md glad[wgl]:x64-windows-static-md opengl:x64-windows-static-md glm:x64-windows-static-md
Don't forget to use Visual Studio for this to work! (in the future you'll be able to use CMake too, or maybe you can ditch Visual Studio altogether)
I'm not good at talking CMake, so feel free to point out everything I did wrong. I made an experimental CMake file which will help compile AiFramework. It was tested only on Windows.
To use it in an IDE like CLion, please make sure that you define the vcpkg toolchain path. For example: -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
The library will be outputted in the build_dir/output directory. You should also output your executable in the same directory. Maybe this will be fixed in a future update.
You are a Linux gamer? No problem! To compile AiFramework, just run our professional grade building script like this...
./build.sh
and it will take care of installing the required packages and building everything automatically!
After running the building script, you can just make and it will build libaifw.so under the build directory, which can be later used in your apps.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Building AiFramework with an earlier version of GCC will fail! Make sure you have GCC 9 or newer and check whether the C++20 standard is supported.
This may occur to you when compiling AiFramework on a standard installation of Raspbian. Upgrade to a newer version of GCC to solve this. A script is provided in the AiFramework directory for this purpose, called gcc_update_rpi.sh
Well, we didn't get that far. If you want to take your shot at making this a reality, make a fork, do your magic, then make a pull request.
Actually, it's currently work-in-progress. Slowly moving to the CMake build system to make this happen. Also, it will use the Android NDK to build the library and you will need to implement a small JNI interface for your app.
You may be wondering... where is the documentation? I will write some documentation once everything is stable enough. Until then, you can perhaps try to refer to the provided test application.
