chronotrix_frwk

Work in progress

Chronotrix Frwk (temporary name) provides a set of libraries in modern C++ for game development.

Goal

The goal is to deliver the following packages:

⭐ platform (WIP)

• Cross-platform window management and OpenGL context creation for Windows, Mac and Linux (X11).

⭐ graphics (WIP)

• Graphics abstraction layer across multiple renderers. Currently the focus is support Vulkan only.

⭐ core (WIP)

• Core library that provides utilities, helpers and so on.

The idea of this project is to understand cross-platform development and learn how modern computer graphics libraries work. With that, the idea is to create a game engine and editor from scratch.

There is still a lot to do and as I develop, old decisions end up being replaced by new ones. So I do not recommend that you use Chronotrix now, because there isn't stable release yet.

Development

Basic dependencies:

• git
• cmake

Mac OS

Generate for Xcode

cmake . -B build/xcode -GXcode

Linux

Install X11 development library:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

For OpenGL support:

sudo apt install mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev

Format code

Mac:

Install clang-format: brew install clang-format

./utils/format.sh src include

Windows CMD:

utils\format.sh src include
