CrystGLFW

An object-oriented API for GLFW in Crystal.

GLFW is a razor-thin, cross-platform library for spinning up OpenGL contexts via windows as well as receiving user input and platform events. CrystGLFW provides an object-oriented API for the full GLFW specification, including window creation, working with multiple monitors, keyboard and joystick/controller input, idiomatic callbacks, and more.

The flexibility and portability of GLFW meets the speed and ease-of-use of Crystal. What a time to be alive!

CrystGLFW uses LibGLFW behind the scenes.

Installation

First, you'll want to make sure you've got GLFW3:

brew install glfw3

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  crystglfw:
    github: calebuharrison/CrystGLFW
    branch: master

Install your dependencies:

shards install

Quick Start

require "crystglfw"
include CrystGLFW

# Initialize GLFW
CrystGLFW.run do
  # Create a new window.
  window = Window.new(title: "My First Window")

  # Configure the window to print its dimensions each time it is resized.
  window.on_resize do |event|
    puts "Window resized to #{event.size}"
  end

  # Make this window's OpenGL context the current drawing context.
  window.make_context_current

  # Listen for callbacks and draw the window until it has been marked for closing.
  until window.should_close?
    CrystGLFW.wait_events
    window.swap_buffers
  end

  # Destroy the window.
  window.destroy

# Shut down and clean up GLFW.
end
