pixelrifts / c-codebase

A simple base layer, and utilities for my own C development. A lot of the stuff came from https://www.youtube.com/c/Mr4thProgramming, but I have made a few simplifications/modifications

c-codebase

My Codebase for C programming. Based a little on https://www.youtube.com/c/Mr4thProgramming but a lot more is added here

Mainly made to use as few libraries as possible and for my own exploration and use.

What does this codebase have

• A Base Layer:
  • Basic Memory Allocators
  • String Utilities
  • Thread Context
  • Math
  • Logging
  • Generic Data structure defining macros
• An OS Layer: (Only win32 and x11 linux implemented):
  • Basic File handling
  • Dynamic Library Loading
  • Windowing
  • Input
  • Timing
  • Threading
• A Core Graphics Layer:
  • Multiple Backends (OpenGL 3.3, OpenGL 4.6 and D3D11)
  • OS Specific Device/Context Creation
  • OpenGL Function Loading
  • Thin wrapper over backend specific calls (Buffers, Pipelines and Shaders are generic to all backends)
• Several Optional Layers
  • Simple 2D Renderer
  • User Interface (Somewhat complete)
  • Simple 2D Physics (Only collision detection and resolution done. No dynamics yet)

How do I use this codebase?

I would recommend you to make your own :) However if you still want to: It has a simple build script file. Just cd into the directory and run build.bat or build.sh!

You need clang OR MSVC installed as I have not tested this with gcc. AFAIK it should just work with gcc anyways.

Not tested EXTENSIVELY with linux but the codebase does work

TODOs

• Linux

  • Windowing with X11
  • Input Handling
  • OpenGL 3.3 backend layer
  • OpenGL 4.6 backend layer

• Optional Layers

  • More UI Widgets

• D3D11

  • Framebuffer support

• Cleanup

  • Switch from X-Lists to Metaprogram tables for OpenGL function loading
  • Remove Backend specific links (d3d11) by loading functions from dll

• Major Goals

  • Custom Build system (so I can combine .bat and .sh build files)

• Maybes

  • Implement functions that are insanely tedious (OS_ThreadWaitForAll/Any and others)

c-codebase's Issues

Question: How did you follow the tuts?

Hi,

I came across your channel on YT, with your demo. I am a member of HMN. Although I do little systems work for now, mainly BE.

CAn you recommend how to follow through on the https://www.youtube.com/@Mr4thProgramming/playlists? Do I start with the base?

Thanks.
