digitalmars.D.announce - glamour / gl3n
So, I did some more work on both libraries (last announce until today): Glamour: https://github.com/Dav1dde/glamour http://dav1dde.github.io/glamour/ * BootDoc documentation * some code-style changes (api did mostly not change, see next point) * removed a few default arguments, make code less confusing * Better support for uniform arrays in shader * generate_mipmaps method for textures * a few minor improvements with Texture1D * loading textures from SDL (thanks OlaOst) and stb_image * VAOs (well they were there for a while now) * FBOs * RenderBuffers * A emulation sampler was added for Mac OSX * Better support OSX in general (thanks SerialVelocity, aka Ben G.) * a few helpers were added to util to transform opengl types to d types and vice versa, also gl type to d type size (runtime and compiletime) * A custom error callback can be set, which only fires when compiled with -debug on opengl errors (after every opengl call done by glamour glGetError is called) Example: ----- void glamour_error_cb(GLenum errno, string func, string args) { static GLenum last_errno = GL_NO_ERROR; static string last_func = ""; if(last_errno != errno && last_func != func) { logger.log!Warn(`OpenGL function "%s(%s)" failed: "%s."`, func, args, gl_error_string(errno)); last_errno = errno; last_func = func; } } debug glamour_set_error_callback(&glamour_error_cb); ----- Future plan(s): * maybe: adding a own opengl loader, independend from derelict, generated by parsing the opengl spec * PBO, IBO and more abstraction, will be done if requested or I actually need them, just message me on irc or open an issue on github Onto gl3n: https://github.com/Dav1dde/gl3n http://dav1dde.github.io/gl3n/ * on dub regestry, thanks BitPuffin! * color.hsv (rgb - hsv conversion) * ext.matrixstack added a simple but powerful matrixstack * aabb support * a simple plane was added (mainly for frustum support) * a frustum was added, note it says the module is not tested, that means there are no unittests for it (the other parts of gl3n use unittests quite a lot, basically everything is covered with several unittests), but I have it in use and it works, if someone could come up with unittests, this would be great * linalg, supports now vectors with an arbitrary length, of course not all operations work on N-length vectors (dot product e.g.). This is done with automatically unrolling foreach loops, instead of hardcoding the max. length and unrolling with static if ---- foreach(index; TupleRange!(0, dimension)) { temp += vector[index]^^2; } ---- * swizzling now returns a Vector!(...), api shouldn't be affected, assuming you passed the result to a vector constructor * things like "v.x *= 3" "v.y += 3" are now possible Future plans: * fully support SIMD, either I will introduce gl3n.ext.simd, or use core.simd directly in place, or I will wait for std.simd, or I will copy&paste the parts I need from the existing std.simd into gl3n.ext.simd, not sure yet how I will do it, also when I am going to do it (atm not a whole lot of time), but it will happen, sometime... * move geometry related stuff (plane, aabb, frustum) into gl3n.geometry and add more, like bounding spheres, improve plains etc. (not sure about that yet) And a little goodie: Since a lot of you started using the awesome glfw, I made also a glfw abstraction: https://github.com/Dav1dde/glwtf Not documentated, but relativly self-explanatory, also WIP, but I have it in use atm and I am missing nothing so far (fullscreen support will be added at some point (soon?)) glwtf.glfw imports either glfw from deimos (default) or derelict3 (-version=DynamicGLFW) If you have any question, go ahead ;) Any wishes? - David aka Dav1d.

"Kiith-Sa" <kiithsacmp gmail.com> Awesome. Will try out the new gl3n once I have time to work on my project.
