Thou who read this message, gather thy spirits and read my horrid code!
At the start of this project I had never written C++ in my life!
This was a great learning experience, and I appreciate the colaboration wiht @HannibalBarkas, my partner in crime.
And a crime it is.
However, given this neither the code nor the structure is in any way shape or form consisten or clean.
Be prepared!
Most of the opengl code builds heavily on https://learnopengl.com/Getting-started/OpenGL
Basic opengl knowledge is required, however, this does not go beyond basic
I have now for the first time looked at markdown. It shows. For your eyes I pray, oh reader.
main.cpp --- runs the program.
src/* --- source code.
| glBoilerplateAndHelpers/* --- OpenGl boilerplate, load textures, create sprites.
|| sprite.* --- sprite class and really stupid "as-float" encoder that breaks on big endian systems. at least i think it does.
|| texture.* --- texture loader for opengl.
| shaders/* --- GLSL shaders. everything is done in NDC and screenspace.
|| highlight.* shader for creating highlights under selected fields.
|| sprite.* --- same for sprites
|| text.* --- same for text
|| ui.* --- missing feature. did not have time to clean the entire codebase.
|| calibri.c --- texture map for text created with piskel. Thanks to @Sivecano, he created the text system in an earlier project with me
|| chess.* --- chess backend. but sorta messy. I guess its pretty efficient though... only thing it is
|| chessSpriteHandler.* --- uhhh... a really dumb way of rendering a chessboard. As everything here, totally under and over built at the same time.
|| eventSystem.* --- An event system taken from a project with @Sivecano. It's use here is totally unnecessary. Writing it was my introduction to function pointers, i thought it was cool, that is why its here.
|| glad.c -- OpenGl bindings generated with https://glad.dav1d.de/
|| helpers.* --- a lot of code in here has been taken from my previous endeavour with @Sivecano. mostly random utils
|| input.* --- input system. this one is particularly horrid and sphagetti.
|| move.* --- oh god. the game handler. Any skill in coding I had, broke down here.
include/* --- cmake include files
lib/* --- external libraries
chess-sprites/* --- sprites
click on figure. press e to select figure. click field to move to. press e to move. all other instructions will be presented on screen.
uhh beware the detached heads, submodules and other horrible stuff. might also not be fully windows compatible, despite @Sivecanos testing on that.
no one needs windows anyway ew what a gross OS
for windows, look at release
else build with cmake, was coded in clion, should work on Code OSS and microsofts version of it.
Dont forget
git submodule init
git submodule update
Run from build dir if you compile
Me -- KalokaK, graphics, chess backend, input
My collaborator on this project -- HannibalBarkas, original backend
My friend and windows tester -- Sivecano, minor windows fixes, texture loader, text system
