GF - Graphics Framework

Introduction:

#include "gf.h"

#include <GL/gl.h>

int	main(void) {
	t_window	window;

	gf_createWindow(&window, 960, 540, "gf 1.0 - Hello, World!");
	gf_makeCurrent(window);
	for ( ;; ) {
		t_event		event;
	
		while (gf_pollEvents(window, &event)) {
			switch (event.type) {
				case (GF_EVENT_QUIT): {
					gf_logi("EVENT: QUIT\n");

					gf_destroyContext(window);
					gf_destroyWindow(window);
					return (0);
				}
			}
		}

		glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
		glClearColor(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.1f, 1.0f);

		gf_swapBuffers(window);	
	}

	gf_destroyContext(window);	
	gf_destroyWindow(window);
	
	return (0);
}

This is gf - graphics framework for GNU/Linux and Windows OpenGL programming. It's incredibly tiny, simple yet powerful codebase allows you to not only develop efficient native graphical application, but also to sharpen your knowledge with low - level windowing and graphics, thanks to compact and commented code!

The main philosophy of this project is quite simple: I wanted to learn how to make decent windowing library, focusing on speed and simplicity.
gf borrows concept from most popular and battle-tested libraries out there: SDL3, glfw, RGFW, raylib to name a few.

I hope you'll have lot's of fun using gf!

NOTE:
For the current state of the project, gf only supports GNU/LINUX operating system, with Xorg and Wayland windowing servers. In the future I plan to add support for Win32 API and potentialy MacOS support.

Building:

GNU/Linux:

NOTE:
This building steps are described for Debian-based distributions of GNU/Linux. If you're using something different, search for different packages in your package manager.

1. Download dependencies:

For X11:

• ensure that either: libX11.so, libX11.so.6, libX11.so.6.4.0 is present on your system and in your $PATH
• ensure that either: libEGL.so, libEGL.so.1 is present on your system and in your $PATH
• ensure that either: libGLX.so, libGLX.so.1 is present on your system and in your $PATH
• ensure that either: libGL.so, libGL.so.1 is present on your system and in your $PATH

2. Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/itsYakub/gf.git
$ cd ./gf/

3. Build the project using GNU Make:

$ make all

4. Run one of demo program supplied with the repository:

For the X11 support:

$ gcc ./demo/00-hello-world.c -L. -lgf -lGL

Windows:

NOTE:
As of now, gf doesn't support Windows platform.

MacOS:

NOTE:
As of now, gf doesn't support MacOS platform.
