Game

This is a basic project that renders stuff in a window using opengl and glfw

Troubleshooting

If windows says that the app cannot be launched on your device, try compiling with these compiler flags

-ldflags="-s -w"

TODO:

• Make some kind of protocol for communication between graphical engine and the glue program and implement it properly
• Embed files at compilation time so that I dont have to ship the resource folder with it
• This would most probably pass config from some kind of global config
• Implement instances
  • When using a model - add the renderable to the queue of the model, when rendering use opengl instancing to lighten the load

Concepts

Controls

• The engine contains subpackages, ea Graphics, which contains all graphics logics, exposed in Public.go

• TextureManager

  • Used for loading textures
  • Manages duplicate loads, etc.

• ShaderManager

  • The same essentially

• Events

  • Currently unused except for keybinds

• Events.Keybinds

  • Used for keybinds
  • Cannot call opengl functions from within, if needed use GraphicalManager.EnqueueLoadFunction(func() {})
    • This is because the engine multi-threads events, and opengl cannot be called from a different thread than main
    • Generally do this when calling opengl calls from goroutines, it will be called exactly once before drawing the next frame

Credits

So many thanks to learnopengl.com, a LOT of the opengl code is taken from there, most of it changed up, but this project would not exist if it was not for this site https://github.com/Samson-Mano/opengl_textrendering
