OpenGL-Beef
opengl-beef is a Beef opengl loader generator. Works with any windowing library that provides GetProcAddress function. For now it only generates gl api and no extensions.
Note: When passing arrays to opengl with type uint you need to use uint32.
Quick Start
- Install dotnet core sdk.
- Copy this repository.
- Run "dotnet run --glVersion 3.3 --profile Core" in your copied opengl-beef folder with modified version and profile arguments.
- Copy generated GL.bf file to your project and change its namespace.
- Happy coding! Example using my glfw-beef library:
using System;
using glfw_beef;
namespace test {
class Program {
public static void Main() {
Glfw.Init();
GlfwWindow* window = Glfw.CreateWindow(640, 480, "OpenGL Test", null, null);
Glfw.MakeContextCurrent(window);
GL.Init(=> Glfw.GetProcAddress);
while (!Glfw.WindowShouldClose(window)) {
GL.glClearColor(1, 0, 1, 1);
GL.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
Glfw.PollEvents();
Glfw.SwapBuffers(window);
}
Glfw.DestroyWindow(window);
}
}
}
How to use with SDL (excluded window creation and other stuff):
static void* SdlGetProcAddress(StringView string) {
return SDL.SDL_GL_GetProcAddress(string.ToScopeCStr!());
}
static void Main() {
SDL.GL_CreateContext(window);
GL.Init(=> SdlGetProcAddress);
}
Why I am not using Beef for the generator? When there is xml library I will consider rewriting it.
