IWindow does not support Linux anymore!

I decided to remove linux support of IWindow since it was too much work for 1 person to handle. You can still find Linux support in the OldLinuxSupport branch if others want to contribute to it. This doesn't mean IWindow will never support linux.

A simple windowing library ment to be used with Vulkan, OpenGL or Direct3D.

IWindow is written is C++ and uses C++17 and currently only supports 64 bit machines.

IWindow supports Win32 (Windows).

No this isn't as good as GLFW yet...

IWindow Features

  • Create a window
  • Create an OpenGL context (no OpenGL ES support)

How to build The Example

Use premake5. If you dont have premake5 you can install it here. Add the premake5 executable into the main folder or into your environment path.

on Windows you can use the build.bat if you have visual studio 2022. If you dont have visual studio 2022 you can use premake5 [build target] [args].
