Entry

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

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 frame N 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 is output.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.

Cmake Configuration options

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.
  • DEFAULT_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.

Android

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.
