codencandy / clock Goto Github PK

This small project builds an analog clock featuring the following concepts:

• creating an application object
• creating a window
• unity build
• drawing with a constant frame rate
• creating a hardware renderer using the Metal framework
• loading images (PNG files)
• GPU shaders (Metal shading language)
• texture mapping
• 2D projection
• 2D rotation
• separation between platform layer and application

All you need to follow along or just build this project is:

• Visual Studio Code
• XCode command line tools (not XCode itself)
• cloc to measure lines of code

The following VS Code extensions are also partly necessary:

• C/C++ Extension Pack
• C/C++ Clang Command Adapter
• Metal Shader Extension for Visual Studio Code

In order to build the project execute
sh build.sh
in the root directory of this project

In order to run execute
./clock
