Key Features

• Performance: Designed for speed and ease of use, ensuring smooth gameplay and real-time interactions.
• Ease of Use: Simple and intuitive APIs make it easy to get started, while comprehensive documentation guides you through the process.

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bXi/luminoveau.git

2. Integrate with CMake: Integrate Luminoveau directly into your C++ project using CMake. Here's an example of how to do this in your CMakeLists.txt file:

   # We require C++17 as a minimum
   enable_language(CXX)
   set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
   
   # Add luminoveau as a subdirectory
   add_subdirectory(luminoveau)
   
   # Link your project with luminoveau
   target_link_libraries(your_project luminoveau)
   
   # Include Luminoveau headers
   target_include_directories(your_project PRIVATE luminoveau)

3. Build Your Project: Use CMake to build your project as usual. Luminoveau will be automatically included and linked.

   cd your_project
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake ..
   make

Example program

This is the bare minimum to get a window going.

#include "luminoveau.h"

int main()
{
  Window::InitWindow("Test");

  while (!Window::ShouldQuit()) {
    Window::StartFrame();

    Render2D::DrawRectangle({ 10, 10 }, { 50, 50 }, WHITE);

    Window::EndFrame();
  }
}
