OpenGL study Repository

This repository contains a few programs and a library that I am using to study OpenGL. Due to the purpose of learning I am implementing my own abstraction layer over OpenGL and SDL2 to make them more "modern" in C++ sense.

Library can be found in the /lib directory and examples can be found in /src directory.

Build instructions and Usage

I am using conan package manager for managing of my dependencies, thus the first step is to download them:

conan install conanfile.py --build=missing -s build_type=Debug

As the whole project is still under heavy development we will prefer Debug build, as we want the additional information in our binaries.

Then we can use the generated CMake preset to create needed build files:

export conan_toolchain=build/Debug/generators/conan_toolchain.cmake
cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$conan_toolchain -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -GNinja .

After that we can safely build the project:

cmake --build build

Compiled examples can be then found in build/examples.

For example resulting application mesh_with_indices looks like this:

Acknowledgement

As my linear algebra library is still under development (it can be found here) I am facilitating a library developed by the authors of OpenGL SuperBible.
