Gunslinger is a header-only c99 framework for multimedia applications.

## Features

- Header-only: drag-drop into any project without any additional compiling required.

- All externals included in the framework itself.

- Simple API inspired by [sokol](https://github.com/floooh/sokol) headers.

- Provides core framework for quickly developing multimedia applications: [Platform](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/docs/platform.md), [Graphics](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/docs/graphics.md), [Audio layers](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/docs/audio.md). 

- Provides custom utilities for [math](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/docs/math.md) and [generic data structures](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/docs/containers.md).

- Optional [helper utilties](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/tree/master/util) are provided, such as [OpenGL 2.0-style Immediate-Mode Rendering](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/util/gs_idraw.h), [Asset Management System](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/util/gs_asset.h), [Physics Util](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/util/gs_physics.h), [Immediate Mode GUI](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/util/gs_gui.h), [Graphics Extensions](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/util/gs_gfxt.h), and a [Meta Data Reflection Utility](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gunslinger/blob/master/util/gs_meta.h). 

- Supports a growing list of platforms: `Windows`, `OSX`, `Linux`, `Android`, and `HTML5` currently with plans to add `UWP`, `RPI`, `IOS`.

- Graphics pipeline follows an explicit rendering framework, making it easier to write for modern backends, such as `Vulkan`/`DX12`/`Metal`.

- All core layers can be fully swapped out with custom user implementations.

- Large collection of [examples](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gs_examples) for quickly getting started.

- An available [project template](https://github.com/MrFrenik/gs_project_template) for various platforms and build systems to get started with a blank gunslinger project.

- Official framework used for all [Game Engineering](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLZjd_Y1gJ8&list=PLIozaEI1hFu3Cd0YJMwOBQKTKfe9uZoyn) YouTube videos.

## Basic Example

A simple c99 'Hello World' example using gunslinger: 

```c

#define GS_IMPL

#include 

gs_app_desc_t gs_main(int32_t argc, char** argv)

{

   return (gs_app_desc_t){0};

}

```

## Projects using GS

### Drop Down Terminal Util

https://github.com/Samdal/gs_ddt_ex

## Roadmap

* Support iOS/RPI/UWP backends

* Support Vulkan/Metal/DX12 backends

* Language Ports: (Python, JS, Rust, C#)

* Add platform-independent threading utils to framework

* Job System Util

* Write more docs for github

* Hot-reload util

* Remove all externals from core framework

* Add more texture formats
