A C++ graphics application built with the Grafit graphics library. This project demonstrates basic 2D graphics rendering including textures, sprites, triangles, and shader support.
- Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- OpenGL-based rendering using the custom Grafit graphics library
- Sprite and texture rendering
- Triangle geometry rendering
- FPS counter and statistics display
- Virtual file system support with PhysFS integration
- Resource management system
- Signal/slot event system
- Promise-based asynchronous operations
- Shader compilation and loading
The project uses several external libraries:
- Boost - General purpose C++ libraries
- GLFW - Window management and OpenGL context creation
- PhysFS - Virtual file system for resource management
- stb_image - Image loading
- OpenGL - Graphics rendering API
- CMake 3.6 or higher
- C++17 compatible compiler
- OpenGL development libraries
-
Clone the repository:
git clone <repository-url> cd GraphicsPlayground
-
Initialize and update submodules:
git submodule update --init
-
Create a build directory:
mkdir build cd build -
Configure with CMake:
cmake ..
-
Build the project:
cmake --build .
The executable will be created in the helloworld subdirectory within your build folder.
The application creates a window displaying:
- A bitmap image (Lenna.png)
- A sprite with texture repeat
- A triangle primitive
- Real-time FPS counter in the window title
The window supports vertical sync and displays OpenGL version information at startup.
The project consists of two main components:
- Grafit - Custom graphics library with modules for system utilities, graphics rendering, and window management
- HelloWorld - Main application demonstrating the Grafit library capabilities
The application displays system information including:
- OpenGL vendor, renderer, and version
- GLSL version
- Display DPI
- User and host names
- Application, user, and temporary directories
This project appears to be a demonstration/learning project for graphics programming with C++.
