A small, custom pixel art editor using C and OpenGL showing off binary serialization techniques.

Building

NOTE(john): Currently requires at least OpenGL v3.3 to run. This will be addressed in the future to allow for previous opengl versions.

• windows(msvc):
  • From start menu, search for "x64/x86 Native Tool Command Prompt for {Insert your Version Here}"
  • Navigate to where you have EP02_BinarySerialization repo placed
  • run proc\win\compile_win_cl.bat
  • The executable will be placed in bin\
  • run bin\App.exe
• windows(mingw):
  • From gitbash, cd into root directory for this project
  • run bash ./proc/win/mingw.sh
  • The executable will be placed in bin/
  • run ./bin/App.exe
  • html5(emscripten):
  • You'll need emscripten compiler
  • From gitbash, cd into root directory for this project
  • run bash ./proc/html5/emcc.sh
  • The executable will be placed in bin/
  • run ./bin/App.exe
• osx:
  • You'll need gcc
  • From the terminal, cdinto the root directory for this project.
