A JavaScript Toolkit for creating Desktop Hardware Accelerated Graphics with JS.
If you're interested in this project you might also want to check out Plask, a JavaScript multimedia programming environment by Dean McNamee.
V8-GL intends to provide bindings for creating 2D-3D hardware accelerated graphics on the Desktop with JavaScript.
Although OpenGL bindings are included in this library, this project main goal is to provide a more rich and easy-to-use toolkit for making 2D-3D graphics.
I set a few goals for this project, the first of those is to provide complete OpenGL bindings for V8. Other goals will be explained at my blog in due time.
No releases yet. OpenGL 2.1 bindings are 75% complete. The repo already has some functional examples. See the example readme section for a complete working example.
- I use Mac OS X, but you can try to build your examples with Linux or Windows if you want. I guess that the only differences between Mac and Linux might be a couple of lines in the Makefile.
- OpenGL 2.1+
- V8 and its requirements
Since there are no releases yet, you can clone the repo from github
$ git clone git://github.com/philogb/v8-gl.git
Then checkout V8 source
$ cd v8-gl
$ svn co http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8
Build V8
$ cd v8
$ scons mode=release
Make the project
$ cd ..
$ make
You'll probably get some warnings (but no errors), so everything should be ok. Finally, run some example JS code
$ ./v8-gl examples/example2.js
Here's an example of a rotating Icosahedron with some lighting and colors.
//Add array iteration method
Array.prototype.each = function(f) {
var len = this.length;
for ( var i = 0; i < len; i++) f(this[i]);
};
//Initializes 3D rendering
function initRendering() {
"DEPTH_TEST COLOR_MATERIAL LIGHTING LIGHT0 NORMALIZE COLOR_MATERIAL"
.split(" ").each(function(elem) {
Gl.Enable(Gl[elem]);
});
}
//global angle variable
var angle = 0;
//Draws the 3D scene
function drawScene() {
//Set global color and drawing properties
Gl.Clear(Gl.COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | Gl.DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
Gl.MatrixMode(Gl.MODELVIEW);
Gl.LoadIdentity();
Gl.Translatef(0.0, 0.0, -5.0);
//Set diffuse and positioned lights
Gl.LightModelfv(Gl.LIGHT_MODEL_AMBIENT, [0.3, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0]);
Gl.Lightfv(Gl.LIGHT0, Gl.DIFFUSE, [0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 1.0]);
Gl.Lightfv(Gl.LIGHT0, Gl.POSITION, [5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 1.0]);
//Rotate and plot Icosahedron
Gl.Rotatef(angle, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
Gl.Color3f(0.5, 0.0, 0.8);
Glut.SolidIcosahedron(2.5);
//Render
Glut.SwapBuffers();
}
(function() {
//Initialize Glut
Glut.Init();
Glut.InitDisplayMode(Glut.DOUBLE | Glut.RGB | Glut.DEPTH);
Glut.InitWindowSize(400, 400); //Set the window size
//Create the window
Glut.CreateWindow("OpenGL on V8 baby!");
initRendering();
//Set drawing callback
Glut.DisplayFunc(drawScene);
//Set resize window callback
Glut.ReshapeFunc(function(w, h) {
var gl = { 'Viewport': [0, 0, w, h], 'MatrixMode': [Gl.PROJECTION], 'LoadIdentity': [] };
for (var i in gl) Gl[i].apply(this, gl[i]);
Glu.Perspective(45.0, w / h, 1.0, 200.0);
});
//Set timeout callback
Glut.TimerFunc(25, function() {
angle += 2.0;
if (angle > 360) angle -= 360;
Glut.PostRedisplay();
Glut.TimerFunc(25, arguments.callee, 0);
}, 0);
//Start the main loop.
Glut.MainLoop();
})();
