NOTICE: this codebase has been abandoned as of January 31, 2015. I'm sorry, but it isn't in a particularly complete or functional state, but anyone is free to scrap it for parts or use it as they see fit.
This is a simple cross-platform game framework developed in c++ by Vavassor
It is built to use either OpenGL or DirectX for rendering, and FMOD Ex for sound. Also uses XInput on windows for gamepads, and libudev/evdev on Linux. It has been tested on Windows under Visual Studio and MinGW-w64 and Linux Mint under gcc.
It will be subject to change as I intend to continue to develop and fork games off from it.
CMake can be used to build the project using the CMakeLists.txt file in the root directory. Note that options are only provided for the compilers tested above.
If you wish to build manually, the requirements are basically as follows:
- exclude source subdirectories that conflict with the platform compiled under, like the directx /dx directory should be excluded under linux builds because DirectX is a microsoft-owned windows-only thing.
- compile with _UNICODE and UNICODE flags and use the flags GRAPHICS_OPENGL or GRAPHICS_DIRECTX for compiling the code related to those api's.
- Dependencies, headers and static libraries (.lib or .a) needed for all:
- DirectX SDK for any windows build that wishes to render using it
- FMOD Ex for Sound.h and Sound.cpp
- XInput for controller input on Windows
- libudev for controller connection notifications in Linux
- also the .dll or .so dynamically-linked library for FMOD Ex is needed either in the directory of the .exe or listed in the run configuration
All code dependent on specific libraries is subject to their licensing restrictions, which are located in docs/. All OTHER code is released under public domain, specifically meaning I place NO restrictions on its use at all, whatsoever. Take it and do a thing with it. It will be cool I promise. No need to credit me
