TinyFX

Small OpenGL ES3.1+ renderer inspired by BGFX. Currently master does not work on GLES2, use gles2 branch instead. This should be fixed in the future.

Features

Reorders draw calls to minimize state changes and avoid overdraw (in progress)
Deals with the dirty details of the graphics API for you
Bring-your-own-framework style renderer. Doesn't tell you how to architect your program
Tracks and resets state for you between draws
Out-of-order submission to views (i.e. render passes)
Uniforms separate from shader objects, all shader programs with matching uniforms are updated automatically
Compute shaders
OpenGL ES 3.1+ (ES2 supported in gles2 branch)
OpenGL 4.3+ core (as low as 3.1 should work, but isn't regularly tested)
Supports stereo rendering for VR (integration is up to you, but the tools are there!)

FAQ

Who is this for?

Anyone sick of remembering when you need barriers, implementing a state tracker for the 50th time, integrating bigger deps than your entire codebase or who just wants something less of a pain to use than OpenGL is.

Why not use BGFX?

BGFX is excellent, but we have different priorities and scope.

Using TinyFX

Include tinyfx.c in your build
Add the location of tinyfx.h (and tinyfx.hpp if you use the C++ API) to your include paths
#include <tinyfx.h> or #include <tinyfx.hpp> and start using tfx after creating an OpenGL context (GLFW and SDL are good for this!). Remember to call tfx_set_platform_data with your target GL version first!
