Dyne ?

Dyne is a C++ library for creating games and applications, it is still under development and is lacking of many features.

Why ?

Because i can.

Installation

First of all you need to clone the project

git clone --recursive https://github.com/mmerabet42/Dyne.git path

'path' is the path where you want the whole code to be. '--recursive' is necessary for cloning the submodules.

Dyne currently compiles on Linux, will soon on Windows. It does on MacOs but nothing renders, i dont know why, so i will focus on Linux and Windows for now.

Dyne uses C++17 (The 2017 standard version of C++).

Dyne requires some libraries in order to work, but they dont need to be installed (They are already in the sources):

• OpenGL (Graphic library API)
• Glad (OpenGL loader)
• GLFW (Window and event library)
• OpenAL (3D audi API)
• dr_wav (header only library for loading WAV files)
• tiny_obj_loader (header only library for loading OBJ files)
• stb_image (header only library for loading images)

Go to the build directory (mkdir build if it doesn't exist) then execute cmake .., a Makefile will be generated; do make and then sudo make install.

At this point the library must have been installed, we can start using it.

Example

Let's first start with a 'Hello World' example.

#include "dn/Application.hpp"
#include "dn/Window.hpp"

int main()
{
  dn::Window window(600, 500, "Hello world");
  
  return dn::Application::run();
}

Compile the example g++ -std=c++17 example.cpp -Ipath/to/include/of/dyne

And voila, these two lines of codes creates a window, and shows it.

In the really first two line we've included the Application.hpp and Window.hpp files, we need them in order to create a window

dn::Window window(600, 500, "Window Title");

and run the application

return dn::Application::run();
