MiniFB
A Julia wrapper around MiniFB, a small cross platform library that makes it easy to render 32 bit pixels in a window.
Quick Start
WIDTH=800
HEIGHT=600
window = mfb_open_ex("My Window", WIDTH, HEIGHT, MinFB.WF_RESIZABLE)
buffer = zeros(UInt32, WIDTH*HEIGHT)
while true
# TODO add some rendering into the buffer
...
state = mfb_update(buffer)
if state != MiniFB.STATE_OK
break
end
end
The code in this package calls directly and transparently into the C library. All the library functions begin with mfb_
, and are exported from this module. Constants are not exported, and must be prefixed with the module name.
The window
object, returned by the mfb_open
and mfb_open_ex
functions, is often passed in to other functions. This value happens to be an opaque pointer, so it should not be de-referenced in Julia code. Simply store it, untyped, and pass it back in when required.
It may be useuful to read the source and documentation of the C library, including the C header file.
