You have to have gradle tool installed.
You have to have GLFW installed. Call brew install glfw on Mac; apt install glfw on Ubuntu
Download and install msys2
Run msys and install glfw3 for mingw64
You want to have c:\msys64\mingw64\bin in your PATH, but I stumbled upon an issue.
When I added it directly into Windows Environment, linking of the project started to fail.
So, I tried to add it in project configuration, like Path=c:\msys64\mingw64\bin\\;%Path% and it works like that.
Just do gradle assemble or gradle runOlcGameEnginePortSampleAppReleaseExecutableOlcGameEnginePort
Assemble will create executable in build/bin catalog. And second command will run sample app.
Couple of demo apps also available and can be directly compiled and run from cmd:
- Fireworks demo:
gradle runFireworksDemoReleaseExecutableOlcGameEnginePort - Asteroids demo:
gradle runAsteroidsDemoReleaseExecutableOlcGameEnginePort - Crude Breakout demo:
gradle runFireworksDemoReleaseExecutableOlcGameEnginePort - Boids demo:
gradle runBoidsDemoReleaseExecutableOlcGameEnginePort
Performance is shit =)
I blame garbage collector for it. Probably will do profiling and optimization.
I've made some optimizations with some help from Kotlin native team. Now sample app runs with stable 80 fps after short worm-up.
Will do an additional step after kgl updates to 1.3.50 version of kotlin-multiplatform.
Port is not fully complete:
- PNG sprite loading not yet ported
- Texture pack support are not ported
- Here and there you may find a missing function
- All unnecessary UInts replaced with Ints
But the core functionality is there.
