Firefly is a low level graphics API supporting multiple graphics operations (depending on the platform) using Vulkan. It currently supports Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
This library has minimal dependencies, but it requires the CMake build system and the Python language interpreter to generate the required libraries. But if you are on Linux, please download the required packages as requested by GLFW.
First, clone this repository.
git clone https://github.com/Intro-Ventors/Firefly {SOURCE}
cd {SOURCE}Here {SOURCE} is the place where the repository is cloned to.
After cloning it, run the Bootstrap.bat file (if on Windows) or Bootstrap.sh (if on Linux) to build the required files. On Windows, it will build the required .sln and .vcxproj
files which you can then open using Visual Studio, or on Linux, it will generate the required gmake2 files.
Hereafter, there are two ways to use this library, either compile all the source files under {SOURCE}/Include/Firefly/Source or just include the ImportSourceFiles.hpp file which is under
{SOURCE}/Include/Firefly. This file should be included in exactly only ONE source file. We also require you to link against the glfw3dll static library and to also copy the glfw3 shared
library to the executable directory. These library files will be located under Include/GLFW/build/src/{CONFIG}.
Note that to properly run the application built using this library, it requires the Vulkan SDK.
