The-Forge-Project-Template

Just a simple project template for quick start using The-Forge.

Keep in mind The-Forge is not a game engine but a rendering framework and it's up to you to build your own engine on top of this.

Cloning

This project use git submodule feature so you must clone the repo recursively

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Hideman85/The-Forge-Project-Template.git MyAwesomeProject

Building

This project use CMake as build engine and if you need to use it in a IDE that not support CMake look at CMake Generators.

CMake allow a easy way to crosscompile the code for all targets on the same machine via Toolchains.

And finally you can use a collection of docker containers for easily crosscompile with pre-setup environments thanks to dockcross.

Building on linux

cd MyAwesomeProject
mkdir -p build/Linux
cd build/Linux
cmake ../..
make -j$(nproc)

Crosscompiling

  • Pull docker image
docker pull dockcross/windows-static-x64
docker run dockcross/windows-static-x64 > Scripts/MingW64Compilation
chmod +x Scripts/MingW64Compilation
  • Open a terminal in the container environment
./Scripts/MingW64Compilation bash
mkdir -p build/MingW64
cmake ../..
make -j$(nproc)

Some extra libs

  • YAS - Yet Another Serialization is a very fast, cross-platform, endian independent and header only serialization library.
