Basic-OpenGL-Renderer 🚧 ( Under development 🛠 )

⚠️ This is a POC project, so this is not actually usable as a rendering library or game engine of sort

I hope to make this a bit more usable to learn more about openGL and shaders and overall graphics programming.

Todo:

• Create a basic openGL Renderer

• Add support for batch rendering

• Making a renderable entity class

• Convert tests into scene + renderable

• make the whole thing a lib

• fix memory leak in batch renderer

• add camera controls

• configurable prespective?

• 3D thingies?

Current state:

• Can draw textured elements
• Supports batch rendering ( not in a sense that you can just create a bunch of elements and it'll render them in batch, just that you can utilize batch rending using openGL using this renderer )
• there is a memory leak in batch rendering test
• Runs on Linux and MacOs with cmake being the only dependencie. can run on windows by changing a lib but opengl support in vms are really bad it seems

Requirements:

• gcc or clang (not tested with msvc or tcc or other c compilers)
• cmake

Build instructions:

• First clone the Repo

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/shoccho/Basic-OpenGL-Renderer

• Then cd into the repo and create a build directory

    mkdir build  && cd build
  

• Then run

    cmake ..
    make
  

• Now you can execute the program using

    ./main
  

or if you use any cmake supported ide( CLion, KDevelop, QtCreator, Vim (via a plugin), Visual Studio, VS code (plugin)) to open the project and run it from there

or you can use cmake to generate project files for other ides as well like xcode or code:blocks
