Creating new demos for KoRE

If you want to get a quick look at KoRE and set up your own cross-platform code for some testing, this guide will help you if you are not familiar with CMake. The following steps are not recommended for more complex projects.

• The demos are located in REPO_ROOT/KoRE/demos.
• In this folder, create a new folder YOUR_DEMO. YOUR_DEMO will hold the sources and a CMakeLists.txt to define project settings.
• As you can see in the MainGLFW demo, .cpp and .h files can simply be stored in that folder.
• Have a look at REPO_ROOT/KoRE/demos/MainGLFW/CMakeLists.txt. This file defines the project settings for that demo - for each platform. Here, paths to included libraries and headers are defined. You can copy that file into YOUR_DEMO.
• If you want to use additional libraries, modify YOUR_DEMO/CMakeLists.txt accordingly and copy the library files into REPO_ROOT/ext. Note that changes to the CMakeLists.txt may have to be made differently for each platform.
• The command to add libraries is set(KoRE_LIBS NAME_OF_LIB).
• To make CMake able to find your new project, open REPO_ROOT/KoRE/demos/CMakeLists.txt and add the line ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(YOUR_DEMO).
• Now run CMake again from REPO_ROOT/KoRE and your demo is ready to work with.
