Fire Libraries

WARNING: Although I use this code myself, it's still heavily work-in-progress, missing features and going through constant iteration!

This is a collection of easy-to-use programming libraries that are compatible with both C and C++. The following libraries are included:

fire_ds.h
- Basic data structures and utilities, such as memory arenas, dynamic arrays, hash maps and bucketed linked lists
fire_string.h
- Length-based string type and lots of string utilities
fire_build.h
- Lets you easily compile C/C++ projects and generate Visual Studio project files from code
- Currently only supports Windows and MSVC
fire_os.h
- Basic operating system interface, i.e. lets you create windows, get user input, read/write files, etc
- Currently only supports Windows
fire_gpu/
- Graphics abstraction layer using Vulkan as a backend
- The goal is to be a simpler alternative to Vulkan, but to still provide more control than OpenGL/DX11
- For now, mostly for my own experiments. You're likely better off using an existing graphics API
- Depends on the Vulkan SDK and fire_ds.h
fire_ui/
- Immediate-mode user interface library to give you menus, buttons, text edit boxes and lots more
- Depends on fire_ds.h, fire_string.h, stb_rect_pack.h and stb_truetype.h
- For a more detailed explanation, see my article

Building the Examples

You'll need Windows and Visual Studio installed to build and run the examples.

Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS <year> from the Windows Start Menu. Within this terminal, cd into the examples folder.
Run cl gen_projects.c && gen_projects.
Open examples/.build/examples.sln in Visual Studio and hit build!
