GraphicsEngine

This Library is the right thing for you if you want to make a rust application which needs easy control over one or multiple windows. The API that I am writing will have the most important functions for drawing on a window.

Usage

The most simple program would be a blank window which registers inputs that the user gives. use GraphicsEngine::window::Window;

use GraphicsEngine::window::Window;

fn main() {
    let window: Window = Window::new("WindowName".to_string(), "WindowClass".to_string(), 0, 0, 500, 500);
    unsafe {
        window.show();
        loop {
            window.receive_message();
        }
    }
}

Or maybe something a little bit more elaborate, like a Window that automatically fills in the Background Red and has a Blue Rectangle in the left upper corner

use GraphicsEngine::window::{Color, Window};
use GraphicsEngine::window::Point;

fn main() {
    let window: Window = Window::new("WindowName".to_string(), "WindowClass".to_string(), 0, 0, 500, 500);
    unsafe {
        window.show();
        loop {
            window.change_pencil(0, Color { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0, });
            window.fill();
            window.change_pencil(0, Color { r: 0, g: 0, b: 255, });
            window.draw_rectangle(Point { x: 0, y: 0 }, 50, 50);
            window.receive_message();
        }
    }
}

Keep in mind that the code above has a flaw. There will be flickering occuring as soon as the user does something with the window. To remove this nasty flaw there are two simple functions to call { create_buffer() and use_buffer() }

use GraphicsEngine::window::{Color, Window};
use GraphicsEngine::window::Point;

fn main() {
    let mut window: Window = Window::new("WindowName".to_string(), "WindowClass".to_string(), 0, 0, 500, 500);
    unsafe {
        window.show();
        loop {
            window.create_buffer();

            window.change_pencil(0, Color { r: 255, g: 0, b: 0, });
            window.fill();
            window.change_pencil(0, Color { r: 0, g: 0, b: 255, });
            window.draw_rectangle(Point { x: 0, y: 0 }, 50, 50);

            window.use_buffer();
            window.receive_message();
        }
    }
}

If you want to update the window you just have to call the { update() } function

Things that will follow

I want to add...

..documentation to every function so that everybody has a better time using this library
..a way to easily add key and mouse inputs to the window

Any other thing I'm working on is visible as an Issue in this GitLab Project
