Blank Renderer about gwork HOT 4 CLOSED

There's a null renderer, what do you understand with a "blank" renderer?

from gwork.

Please consider adding a 'blank' renderer for users to begin work on creating their own custom renderers.

If you look at the base class for the renderers there are various comments on how to implement one.

There are also samples. It is easy enough to work out what you need. Perhaps look at one of the similar renderers (SDL, Allegro5, or software/SW) for an example. The DirectX ones have a lot of noise in them.

I'll try and add some more notes to the docs.

Thank you, I copied the Allegro Renderer structure, its a slight barrier to get started developing, especially on windows using visual studio, when you need cmake to generate project files. Some documentation about Renderer, Input, Platform and a quick overview of what needs to be done in the cmake scripts to generate your project files would do wonders!

I added an introduction. There are already some notes on using cmake in the build docs.
