CROSS PLATFORM ENGINE

An attempt at binding lua with raylib to build something that looks like a game framework. My main objective is to learn cross platform developement and more specifically xmake xmake offers a package manager that allows to manage dependencies without any headache (that i eventually contributed to : xmake-io/xmake-repo#3021)

However for this specific project i chose to set dependencies as submobules and build them myself inside xmake.lua. That way i can easily build the latest release of each submodule and learn more about xmake.

Building

Requirements

xmake 2.8.6 - https://xmake.io

a c++ compiler on your system (can be gcc/clang/msvc whatever , but xmake will setup everything)

Downloading

You can clone the repo recursively to get all the submodules :

git clone --recursive https://github.com/ElCapor/cross-platform-engine.git

Compiling

You can run the following command to build the project

xmake build cross-platform-engine

and then you can do the following to run it

xmake run cross-platform-engine

or

xmake debug cross-platform-engine

to debug it
