# Mini GL "Framebuffer"
|
|
|
|
Provides an easy way to draw a window from a pixel buffer. OpenGL alternative to other
|
|
easy "framebuffer" libraries.
|
|
|
|
Designed to be dead simple and easy to remember when you just want to get something on the
|
|
screen ASAP!
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
extern crate mini_gl_fb;
|
|
|
|
fn main() {
|
|
let mut fb = mini_gl_fb::gotta_go_fast("Hello world!", 800.0, 600.0);
|
|
let buffer = vec![[128u8, 0, 0, 255]; 800 * 600];
|
|
fb.update_buffer(&buffer);
|
|
fb.persist();
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`fb.update_buffer` can be called as many times as you like and will redraw the screen each
|
|
time. You can bring your own timing mechanism, whether it's just `sleep(ms)` or something more
|
|
sophisticated.
|
|
|
|
# Planned Features
|
|
|
|
Listed in rough order of importance and ease (which are surprisingly correlated here!).
|
|
|
|
- Bounds check on `update_buffer` which will currently segfault if you pass the wrong size.
|
|
|
|
- Provide a way to break out of the `fb` object into the raw backing glutin window and event
|
|
loop so that you can easily provide interactivity.
|
|
|
|
- Shader playground. Add a method for using shadertoy-like fragment shaders to be applied to
|
|
your submitted pixel data.
|
|
|
|
- Some built in managed ways of getting interactivity, possibly such as a functional reactive
|
|
style draw function that renders based on a provided Store struct. Other simpler
|
|
alternatives include automatically drawing after running some event handlers and some
|
|
methods for drawing at intervals (fixed/dynamic delta time).
|
|
|
|
- Provide a way to bring your own context/window.
|
|
|
|
- Fully replace and customize the vertex, geometry, and fragment shader, including adding your
|
|
own uniforms (but probably not adding any vertex attributes).
|
|
|
|
- Support for more textures, possibly actual OpenGL framebuffers for complex sequences of
|
|
post processing. I am undecided on whether this is appropriate for this library.
