Issues and pull requests are very welcome. :-)

The open nature of this book is partially inspired by Robert Nystrom’s excellent Game Programming Patterns

Getting example code

• clone the repository recursively (to also pull down the dependencies)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/shearer12345/graphicsByExample.git

• OR fork the repository on github and clone it from your repository

  • you may want to then make your repository private

Example code

• each example is complete and in a separate git branch

  • allowing you to diff between branches to see what has changed

• the master branch composes all the example branches together for rapid demonstrations/explorations

• all examples are in C++11, using modern OpenGL

• all examples are cross-platform (Windows, Linux, OS X)

Building examples

• we use premake5 to build solutions and projects

  • Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015

  • Make

  • Xcode4

  • MonoDevelop

• to build, in the root of the repository, run:
