GLWindow

#import "extra/glwindow"

Warning: This module is currently available only on Windows as experimental.

Set of tools to handle creation of the operating system native window with OpenGL context and handling of user inputs.

The window creation does not cover OpenGL initialization, since its API must be loaded dynamically in runtime, thus the gl_init must be called after a window is successfully created (the propper context is set) and before any rendering.

Example

#import "extra/glwindow"

main :: fn () s32 {
    // Initialize the glwindow module first.
    glwindow.init();
    // And don't forget to terminate it at the end.
    defer glwindow.terminate();

    // Create default instance of window options and override some values.
    opt := glwindow.make_default_create_window_options();

    // Text shown in the window title.
    opt.title  = "My Window";

    // Window resolution
    opt.width  = 1024;
    opt.height = 768;

    // Uncommnet this to enable fullscreen mode.
    //opt.fullscreen = true;

    // Create new window using our options and handle all possible errors.
    window, window_err :: glwindow.create_window(&opt);
    if window_err {
        // Kill the app on error.
        panic(window_err);
    }
    // Destroy the window at the end of the scope.
    defer glwindow.destroy_window(window);

    // Make the window's GL context the current one.
    glwindow.set_window_context_current(window);

    gl_init();
    defer gl_terminate();

    // The "game loop" is looping until the should_quit is false.
    should_quit := false;
    loop !should_quit {
        // Poll all pending window events.
        glwindow.poll_window_events();

        // Process user input events here.
        loop i := 0; i < glwindow.frame_events.len; i += 1 {
            event :: &glwindow.frame_events[i];
            using glwindow.EventKind;
            switch event.kind {
                QUIT { should_quit = true; }
                default;
            }
        }

        // Draw one frame.
        gl.ClearColor(1.f, 0.f, 0.f, 1.f);
        gl.Clear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

        // Don't forget to swap gl buffers at the end of the frame.
        glwindow.swap_buffers(window);
    }

    print("DONE\n");
    return 0;
