I decided to remove linux support of IWindow since it was too much work for 1 person to handle. You can still find Linux support in the OldLinuxSupport branch if others want to contribute to it. This doesn't mean IWindow will never support linux.
A simple windowing library ment to be used with Vulkan, OpenGL or Direct3D.
IWindow is written is C++ and uses C++17 and currently only supports 64 bit machines.
IWindow supports Win32 (Windows).
No this isn't as good as GLFW yet...
- Create a window
- Create an OpenGL context (no OpenGL ES support)
- Create a Vulkan surface and get the required instance extensions for IWindow to link with Vulkan
- Keyboard and mouse support with callbacks
- Gamepad support with a gamepad connect callback.
- Win32 (Windows).
Use premake5. If you dont have premake5 you can install it here. Add the premake5 executable into the main folder or into your environment path.
on Windows you can use the build.bat if you have visual studio 2022. If you dont have visual studio 2022 you can use premake5 [build target] [args].
The documentation of this library is on this website.
When compiling define IWINDOW_BUILD_DLL in preprocessor defines. Also use IWINDOW_DLL in preprocessor defines and client applications preprocessor defines.
