A minimal OpenGL based graphics library plus random computer graphics and generative art samples.
Includes selected solutions for Interactive Computer Graphics: A Top-Down Approach with WebGL, 7th Edition.
On Ubuntu, install the following libraries:
apt-get install libsoil-dev libglm-dev libassimp-dev libglew-dev libglfw3-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev
Install Glad library, a GL/GLES/EGL/GLX/WGL Loader-Generator:
git clone https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad.git
cd glad && make build && cd build
cmake ../
make
# the -a option means -R and -p, plus same directory tree, same file types, same contents, same metadata
sudo cp -a include /usr/local/
Copy glad.c from build/src/ git cloned source directory to the project Source/Engine/ directory.
Install STB library for image handling:
git clone https://github.com/nothings/stb.git
cd stb
sudo mkdir /usr/local/include/stb
sudo cp -a stb* /usr/local/include/stb/
Make dir lib, cd into lib and
git clone https://github.com/g-truc/glm
git clone https://github.com/nothings/stb
Go to https://glad.dav1d.de/ and choose C/C++ as Language, OpenGL as Specification, Core Profile and API Version 3.3. Download glad.zip and unzip it into glad dir in lib dir. Copy lib\glad\src\glad.c in kyst\Source\Engine.
Download GLFW Windows pre-compiled binaries and unzip it into lib\glfw dir.
In order to compile a specific example, mkdir build, cd build and run
cmake ../
After the successful creation of the Makefile build the examples with
make <example> && ./example <example>
where stands for the name of the corresponding sample directory. E.g. to make and run 01_Cube run
make 01_Cube && cd ../bin && ./01_Cube
# configure
cd build && cmake ..
# build
cd build && MSBuild.exe -target:Build /property:Configuration=Release <target>.vcxproj
# or
cd build && MSBuild.exe -target:Build /property:Configuration=Release kyst.sln
# run
cd bin/ && <target>.exe
