Glass

Don't you wish you could just read your app's flow like prose?
Don't you wish you could just focus on wgpu pipelines without any wrapping around their types?
Don't you wish you could just access the winit event directly from the event loop without any wrapper types?

Glass aims to do just that. Resulting in very readable code flow for your app. Its main purposes are to allow you to skip annoying wgpu boilerplate, winit boilerplate and window organization. You can just focus on your render or compute pipelines and organize your app how you like.

Example:

fn main() {
    Glass::new(MyApp, GlassConfig::default()).run();
}

// Organize your app in anyway you like
struct MyApp;

// Implement methods that you need (to render or read inputs)
impl GlassApp for MyApp {}

See example folder for more.

pub trait GlassApp {
    /// Run at start
    fn start(&mut self, _event_loop: &EventLoop<()>, _context: &mut GlassContext) {}
    /// Run on each event received from winit
    fn input(
        &mut self,
        _context: &mut GlassContext,
        _event_loop: &EventLoopWindowTarget<()>,
        _event: &Event<()>,
    ) {
    }
    /// Run each frame
    fn update(&mut self, _context: &mut GlassContext) {}
    /// Run each frame for each window after update
    fn render(&mut self, _context: &GlassContext, _render_data: RenderData) {}
    /// Run each frame for each window after rendering per window
    fn post_processing(&mut self, _context: &GlassContext, _render_data: RenderData) {}
    /// Run each frame for each window after post processing
    fn after_render(&mut self, _context: &GlassContext) {}
    /// Run each frame last
    fn end_of_frame(&mut self, _context: &mut GlassContext) {}
    /// Run at exit
    fn end(&mut self, _context: &mut GlassContext) {}
}

For whom

People who want to learn rendering
People annoyed at complexities of game engines, and wanting to have more control over their app
People who wish to go back to the roots of coding (simplicity, and no magic)
