The code is meant to be highly efficient and easy to use, while remaining lightweight and highly customizable. Libraries (video/io/hardware...) can be included separately.

This project can be generated with CMake for any IDE (or directly open with an IDE that can natively handle CMake files). Some scripts are also available to automatically generate the project for most IDEs ("_scripts" directory). Some options can be set to configure the solution when calling CMake (CMake-GUI, command line, or via an IDE).
Using CMake command line:
cmake -S [source_dir] -G [generator_name] -A [arch] -B [build_dir] -D[option_name]=[option_value]
Examples:
- cmake -S . -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -B _build -DCWORK_TESTS=OFF
- cmake -S . -G "Unix Makefiles" -B _build -DCWORK_DOCS=ON
- cmake -S . -G "MinGW Makefiles" -B _build -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++.exe -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make.exe
