A cross-platform template for C++ raylib projects using cmake

There are two ways to use this project template. You can either create a your own GitHub repo using this template (very similar to forking) or your can directly clone this repo on your local machine. Here are steps for both these ways:

1. GitHub repo using template

   • Make sure you are logged into your GitHub account.

   • Click on the "Use this template" button.

     

   • Provide a name for your new repo.

   • Click "Create repositoy from template".

   • Clone your new repo recursively.

   git clone --recursive <your-repo-link-here>

2. Local repo by direcly cloning

   Step 1. Clone this repo recusrively using this command:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/ufrshubham/raylib-project-template.git

Note: If you've already cloned this repo without using --recursive flag, just run git submodule update --init to update the submodules.

• Source files should be placed under src directory.

• Header files should be placed under include directory. Header Version.hpp can be remove completely as it is just for demo.

• Source code for Raylib is pulled as a submodule under vendors/raylib and is built along with your code.

• Assets like images, audio and fonts can be placed under resources directory. If you choose to use a custom directory for this, you'll have to handle how your executable finds those assets. The demo code in src/main.cpp programitically changes the working directory to the path where resources directory is located (see the static function modifyCurrentWorkingDirectory).

• Make a directory for build in your project root.

  cmake -E make_directory ./build

• Go to the build directory.

  cd build/

• Generate project files (For debug builds, replace Release with Debug).

  cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

• Build (For debug builds, replace Release with Debug).

  cmake --build . --config Release

• You should find the executables under build/bin
