JNGL Example Project

Starts a JNGL game without any logic and just renders a black screen.

Getting Started

Clone this folder and open it in VS Code. If it's the first time you develop C++/JNGL you have to install the dependencies documented in the JNGL GitHub page. After setting up everything you only have to press <kbd>F5</kbd> and the project will be built and started.

Happy developing!

Windows Development with Visual Studio

For development on Windows you need to install:

• Visual Studio please make sure to select Desktop development with C++ while installing.
• CMake
• Git
• optional GitHub Desktop

Steps to build your first JNGL Game:

• Press the "Use this Template" Button and create your own repo.
• Clone the new repository with GitHub Desktop or on the console with git clone --recurse-submodules.
• Then open a console in your local project folder and run cmake -Bbuild -DFETCHCONTENT_QUIET=0, it will take a while and create a build folder.
• In the build folder there is now a jnglexample.sln which you can open with Visual Studio.
• In the solution explorer in Visual Studio you have to right click jnglexample and select Set as Startup Project.
• Now you can press Debug or <kbd>F5</kbd> to run your project.
• Have fun!

iOS Development with Xcode

• Install Boost using Homebrew: brew install boost
• Run the following in the project folder after using this template:

mkdir subprojects/jngl/include/ios
ln -s /opt/homebrew/include/boost subprojects/jngl/include/ios/boost
cmake -Bbuild-ios -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=subprojects/jngl/cmake/iOS.toolchain.cmake -DIOS_PLATFORM=OS

• Open jnglexample.xcodeproj inside the newly created build-ios/ folder.
• Connect an iOS device, select the "jnglexample" target and hit run.
