Basic Software Renderer

Software Renderer

This is a very basic 2D software renderer designed and implemented for the win32 platform layer. All computations are done through the CPU and memory and completely removes the GPU from the equation.

Platform

This application interfaces with the win32 platform layer and does so without the help of any external libraries, making the code extremely efficient.

Rendering

All rendering is done through the creation of a bitmap and then displaying that bitmap on the screen. The rendering options are basic but the way the rendering is handled allows for a good basis to expand to larger, more intesensive, rendering options.

Build

Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 is required to build the application

To build: simply run the win32_build.bat from the directory containing win32_build.bat and the folder code This will create a build directory and there you will find a working executable for windows
