Documentation

See cl-bodge external documentation.

Framework modules

• Foundations

  Basic engine blocks for memory management, concurrency, math, events and systems. Everything else is built on top. See cl-bodge/engine.

• Host

  Abstraction layer over host OS-dependent functionality: windows, OS resource management, system and input events, etc. See cl-bodge/host.

• Resources

  Asset management routines for asynchronous resource loading, preparation, retrieving and releasing. See cl-bodge/resources.

• Graphics

  OpenGL-driven rendering engine. Provides convenience layer over bare GL functionality: shared shader libraries and programs, extended shader preprocessor, vertex array objects, GPU buffers, framebuffers/renderbuffers, textures, etc. See cl-bodge/graphics.

• Canvas

  Hardware-accelerated 2d drawing routines. See cl-bodge/canvas.

• Animation

  Support module for skeletal animation: keyframe sequences, keyframe interpolation, skinning shader. See cl-bodge/animation.

• Audio

  OpenAL-driven postional 3D audio system: listener, audio sources, audio buffers, streaming, special effects, etc. See cl-bodge/audio.

• Physics

  2D and 3D rigid body physics engine with collision detection: rigid bodies, joints, shapes, etc. See cl-bodge/physics.

• Text

  Text rendering system. Signed Distance Field based rendering, fonts handling, glyph aligning, font-related math, etc. See cl-bodge/text

• 2D GUI

  System for creating in-game hardware-accelerated multi-window user interfaces: windows, widgets, layouts. See cl-bodge/ui.

• Distribution

  Utilites for packaging application for shipping across different OSes: lisp image dumping, execution file creation, OS bundles, assets and foreign dependencies packing. See cl-bodge/distribution.

Installation

Quicklisp

;; Add cl-bodge distribution into quicklisp
(ql-dist:install-dist "http://bodge.borodust.org/dist/org.borodust.bodge.txt")

;; Update main dist just in case
(ql:update-dist "quicklisp")

;; Load the demo
(ql:quickload :cl-bodge/demo)
;; And run it!
(cl-bodge.demo:run)

Misc

Also, check out trivial-gamekit to get started with cl-bodge bit by bit.
