# MWL

MinWinLib (MWL) is a simple, single-file library to create and manage windows, currently only supporting the Win32 API.

> [!IMPORTANT]

> Linux support is coming! (with X11)

## Creating a window with MWL

Creating a window is simple, just include `MinWinLib.h` and call `MWL_createWindow`.

```c

#include 

#include "path/to/MinWinLib.h"

int main() {

    MWL_Window window = MWL_createWindow("Hi, mum!", 1000, 600, true);

    return 0;

}

```

To make sure the window doesn't crash the moment you run the code you need to call `MWL_process` function and pass in a reference to a `MWL_Window`.

This must be done inside a while loop that checks to see if the window is closed, or the program will crash.

```c

int main() {

    printf("Creating window!\n");

    MWL_Window window = MWL_createWindow("Hi, mum!", 1000, 600, true);

// The loop will run only if the window is open. This is where your program's main code goes.

    while(window.closed == false) {

        MWL_process(&window);

        Sleep(10);

    }

    printf("Loop ended\n");

    return 0;

}

```
