The entry
library is used to set up system agnostic entry-point routines.
This library creates a window that is suitable for Vulkan rendering. This
window is presented to the user, and passed to the main_entry
in the
entry_data
field as described below.
You must, somewhere in your program, define a function with the signature
int main_entry(const entry_data* data);
This function will get called
by the entry point library.
Command line options that are supported by entry
at this time are:
-w=N
This will set the width of the window to N-h=N
This will set the height of the window to N-output-frame=N
This will instruct any VulkanApplication to use a virtual swapchain instead fo the real swapchain. This will output the contents of the swapchain after frameN
and instruct the application to exit.-1
will turn this off.-1
is the default.-output-file=filename
This will set the name of the file that-output-frame
writes to. The default isoutput.ppm
-separate-present
This prefers a separate presentation queue instead of the default if possible.-fixed
This will instruct the application to simulate a fixed framerate. This is particularly useful when outputting frames, since the times should be consistent.
Each of the command-line arguments has a CMake build option that will affect the default value.
OUTPUT_FRAME
Sets the default value of-output-frame
.-1
normally.OUTPUT_FILE
Sets the default value of-output-file
.output.ppm
normally.DEFUALT_WINDOW_WIDTH
Sets the default value of-w=
.100
normally.DEFAULT_WINDOW_HEIGHT
Sets the default value of-h=
.100
normally.FIXED_TIMESTEP
Turns on-fixed
by default.PREFER_SEPARATE_PRESENT
Turns on-separate-present
by default.
Notes for Android, since there is no way of providing command-line arguments to Android, only the CMake configuration options can be used to affect behavior.
