A template for implementing (https://github.com/mrozycki/rustmas)[Rustmas] animation plugins in C++.
In order to create your own animation, make a copy of this repository.
You will need to make appropriate changes in the manifest.json file,
as well as implement any required methods inside the src/animation.cpp file
(likely at least update and render). If you create any additional source
files, remember to update CMakeLists.txt.
After everything is done, simply run cmake --build build --target package
to build a plugin package. Remember that this is a native binary file, so you
need to build on a machine compatible with the one you are running Rustmas on
(e.g. on a Raspberry Pi if you're running Rustmas on a Raspberry Pi).
Before you start working on your animation, set up a cmake project. You need to only do this once. You can do it by running:
cmake -S . -B build
Then you can build your package with:
cmake --build build
Although in order to run your animation, you may want to create a package and unpack it in your plugins folder:
cmake --build build --target package
cp animation.tgz $RUSTMAS_PLUGIN_DIRECTORY
cd $RUSTMAS_PLUGIN_DIRECTORY
tar xzf animation.tgz
Note: the name of the animation package file is based on your project directory
name, so it likely will not be animation.
