The-Forge_Playground

Welcome to The-Forge Playground! This project is a playground for exploring and experimenting with The-Forge, a cross-platform rendering framework.

Getting Started

Clone The Repository

git clone https://github.com/nahiim/The-Forge_Playground.git
cd The-Forge_Playground

Samples

In the samples directory you will find a few pre-written samples including a compute sample. Create a new sample to play with by running new_sample.bat.

Shaders

Compile all shaders of a particular sample by running compile_shaders.bat in the solution directory. The shaders are in the shaders folder of the solution directory. It uses GLSL and the file extensions must be .vert, .frag and .comp for vertex, fragment and compute shaders respectively otherwise the script won't compile it. Your shaders should also be in the shaders folder of the solution directory otherwise the script won't compile it. If you want to write HLSL or FSL shaders you can do that and compile them in your own way. I made this because I find it convenient for myself.

Note

This is only a learning excercise which I made for myself to easily experiment with The-Forge. I made it public on the off chance that it might be useful to someone else learnning CGI programming.
