rust_minifb/README.md

minifb is a cross platform library written in Rust and that makes it easy to setup a window and to (optional) display a 32-bit pixel buffer. It also makes it easy to get input from keyboard and mouse. An example is the best way to show how it works:

Usage

# Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
minifb = "0.11"

Example

extern crate minifb;

use minifb::{Key, WindowOptions, Window};

const WIDTH: usize = 640;
const HEIGHT: usize = 360;

fn main() {
    let mut buffer: Vec<u32> = vec![0; WIDTH * HEIGHT];

    let mut window = Window::new("Test - ESC to exit",
                                 WIDTH,
                                 HEIGHT,
                                 WindowOptions::default()).unwrap_or_else(|e| {
        panic!("{}", e);
    });

    while window.is_open() && !window.is_key_down(Key::Escape) {
        for i in buffer.iter_mut() {
            *i = 0; // write something more funny here!
        }

        // We unwrap here as we want this code to exit if it fails. Real applications may want to handle this in a different way
        window.update_with_buffer(&buffer).unwrap();
    }
}

Status

Currently Mac, Redox, Linux and Windows (64-bit and 32-bit) are the current supported platforms. X11 (Linux/FreeBSD/etc) support has been tested on Ubuntu (x64). Bug report(s) for other OSes/CPUs are welcome!

cargo build
cargo run --example noise

This will run the noise example which should look something like this (Mac screenshot)
