## blah
A small 2D C++ Game Framework, using few dependencies and simple code to mainain easy building and portability.
**☆ This will likely see breaking changes! Use at your own risk! ☆**
#### building
- Requires C++17 and CMake 3.14+
- A single *Platform* implementation must be enabled:
- [SDL2](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/platform_sdl2.cpp) can be enabled in CMake with `BLAH_PLATFORM_SDL2` (default)
- [WIN32](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/platform_win32.cpp) (UNFINISHED) can be enabled in CMake with `BLAH_PLATFORM_WIN32`
- Additional platforms can be added by implementing the [Platform Backend](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/platform.h)
- A single *Graphics* implementation must be enabled:
- [OpenGL](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/graphics_gl.cpp) can be enabled in CMake with `BLAH_GRAPHICS_OPENGL` (default)
- [D3D11](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/graphics_d3d11.cpp) can be enabled in CMake with `BLAH_GRAPHICS_D3D11`
- Additional graphics can be added by implementing the [Graphics Backend](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/internal/graphics.h)
#### notes
- There's no Shader abstraction, so the [Sprite Batcher](https://github.com/NoelFB/blah/blob/master/src/graphics/batch.cpp) has hard-coded GLSL/HLSL. This will need to change.
- Only floatN/mat3x2/mat4x4 uniforms are supported.
- There's no Audio API or backend implementation yet.
- No threaded rendering so it will explode if you try that.
#### a sample application
```cpp
#include <blah.h>
using namespace Blah;
Batch batch;
TextureRef tex;
void startup()
{
tex = Texture::create("player.png");
}
void render()
{
App::backbuffer->clear(Color::black);
auto center = Vec2f(App::backbuffer->width(), App::backbuffer->height()) / 2;
auto rotation = Time::seconds * Calc::TAU;
2022-01-06 17:41:09 +08:00
auto transform = Mat3x2f::create_transform(center, Vec2f::zero, Vec2f::one, rotation);
batch.push_matrix(transform);
batch.rect(Rectf(-32, -32, 64, 64), Color::red);
batch.tex(tex, Vec2f(64, 0), Color::white);
batch.pop_matrix();
batch.render();
batch.clear();
}
int main()
{
Config config;
config.name = "blah app";
config.width = 1280;
config.height = 720;
config.on_startup = startup;
config.on_render = render;
App::run(&config);
return 0;
}
```
