## Kinc
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kinc (short for [Kore](https://github.com/Kode/Kore) in C) is a low level toolkit
|
||
|
|
for cross-platform game engine development and similar endeavors. It is comparable
|
||
|
|
to SDL but bigger in scope as it also takes care of cross-platform GPU programming
|
||
|
|
with multiple portable APIs to choose from and its own shader language
|
||
|
|
[Kongruent](https://github.com/Kode/Kongruent).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kinc projects are built using kmake, a meta-build-tool that resides in
|
||
|
|
a git-submodule of Kinc. In your project's directory call `path/to/Kinc/make`,
|
||
|
|
this will create a project file for your IDE in a subdirectory called build.
|
||
|
|
kmake by default creates a project for the system you are currently using,
|
||
|
|
but you can also put one of windows, linux, android, windowsapp, osx, ios
|
||
|
|
and freebsd in the arguments list to create something else.
|
||
|
|
Depending on the capabilities of the target system you can also choose
|
||
|
|
your graphics api (-g direct3d9/direct3d11/direct3d12/opengl/vulkan/metal).
|
||
|
|
Console support is implemented via separate plugins because the code can not
|
||
|
|
be provided publicly - contact Robert for details if you are interested in it.
