## jGL 

### cross-platform graphics, abtracting OpenGL and Vulkan for 2D graphics/gamedev

This library aims to provide a simple API for 2D graphics applications in C++, targeting multiple platforms: linux, windows, macOS, and Android (and maybe IOS).

Versions 0.0.X will progressively define an API.

Currently OpenGL is the main vehicle for functionality, the Vulkan backend is a shell. Once the API is reasonably solid the Vulkan side will be brought up to date for 0.1.0.

IOS depends on how easy Vulkan is to integrate with an IOS app, we may opt for https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/
