# Impulse Engine (Nim port)
### Descripton: ###
Nim programming language port of Randy Gaul's Impulse engine (https://github.com/RandyGaul/ImpulseEngine).
Thanks to Randy for a great educational tool.
### License: ###
zlib license (check the License.txt file for more details)
### Used libraries: ###
- nim-glfw (https://github.com/johnnovak/nim-glfw)
- opengl (https://github.com/nim-lang/opengl)
- libdrawtext (https://github.com/jtsiomb/libdrawtext)
Additional information:
- For `nim-glfw` you will need the GLFW3 shared library (precompiled libraries can be found here: https://www.glfw.org/download.html)
- For `libdrawtext` you will need to compile the shared library from source and add it to your path. Follow instructions on: https://github.com/jtsiomb/libdrawtext
### Installation: ###
[](https://github.com/yglukhov/nimble-tag)
Installation can be done using the Nimble package manager from the shell/command line (Nimble has to be installed):
```sh
$ nimble install impulse_engine
```
This also compiles impulse engine and let's you run it with `impulse_engine` in a console.
### Notes: ###
On Windows (tested with mingw64-32) it should work out of the box, provided you have everything needed for openGL.
On GNU/Linux (tested on Lubuntu) you will probably need to install libmesa, Xcursor and other X development packages, and
I also had to create symlinks for libGL.so, libXi.so and libXxf86v.so.
If anyone is willing to try it on another platform, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
