// Package ebiten provides graphics and input API to develop a 2D game.
//
// You can start the game by calling the function RunGame.
//
2019-12-22 04:59:28 +01:00
// // Game implements ebiten.Game interface.
// type Game struct{}
//
2019-12-22 04:59:28 +01:00
// // Update proceeds the game state.
// // Update is called every tick (1/60 [s] by default).
// func (g *Game) Update() error {
// // Write your game's logical update.
// return nil
// }
//
// // Draw draws the game screen.
// // Draw is called every frame (typically 1/60[s] for 60Hz display).
// func (g *Game) Draw(screen *ebiten.Image) {
// // Write your game's rendering.
// }
//
// // Layout takes the outside size (e.g., the window size) and returns the (logical) screen size.
// // If you don't have to adjust the screen size with the outside size, just return a fixed size.
// func (g *Game) Layout(outsideWidth, outsideHeight int) (screenWidth, screenHeight int) {
// return 320, 240
// }
//
// func main() {

// game := &Game{}
// // Specify the window size as you like. Here, a doubled size is specified.
// ebiten.SetWindowSize(640, 480)
2020-01-06 11:43:29 +01:00
// ebiten.SetWindowTitle("Your game's title")
// // Call ebiten.RunGame to start your game loop.

// In the API document, 'the main thread' means the goroutine in init(), main() and their callees without 'go'
2020-10-20 20:17:40 +02:00
// statement. It is assured that 'the main thread' runs on the OS main thread. There are some Ebiten functions (e.g.,
// DeviceScaleFactor) that must be called on the main thread under some conditions (typically, before ebiten.RunGame
// is called).

//
// Environment variables
//
// `EBITEN_SCREENSHOT_KEY` environment variable specifies the key
// to take a screenshot. For example, if you run your game with
// `EBITEN_SCREENSHOT_KEY=q`, you can take a game screen's screenshot
// by pressing Q key. This works only on desktops.
//
2019-10-13 10:33:10 +02:00
// `EBITEN_INTERNAL_IMAGES_KEY` environment variable specifies the key
// to dump all the internal images. This is valid only when the build tag
// 'ebitendebug' is specified. This works only on desktops.
//
// `EBITEN_GRAPHICS_LIBRARY` environment variable specifies the graphics library.
// If the specified graphics library is not available, RunGame returns an error.
// This can take one of the following value:
//
// "auto": Ebiten chooses the graphics library automatically. This is the default value.
// "opengl": OpenGL, OpenGL ES, or WebGL.
// "directx": DirectX. This works only on Windows.
// "metal": Metal. This works only on macOS or iOS.
//
// `EBITEN_DIRECTX` environment variable specifies various parameters for DirectX.
// You can specify multiple values separated by a comma. The default value is empty (i.e. no parameters).
//
// "warp": Use WARP (i.e. software rendering).
// "debug": Use a debug layer.
//
// Build tags
//
2019-10-13 10:33:10 +02:00
// `ebitendebug` outputs a log of graphics commands. This is useful to know what happens in Ebiten. In general, the
// number of graphics commands affects the performance of your game.
//
// `ebitenwebgl1` forces to use WebGL 1 on browsers.
//
// `ebitensinglethread` disables Ebiten's thread safety to unlock maximum performance. If you use this you will have
2020-10-20 20:32:58 +02:00
// to manage threads yourself. Functions like IsKeyPressed will no longer be concurrent-safe with this build tag.
// They must be called from the main thread or the same goroutine as the given game's callback functions like Update
// to RunGame.
//
// `ebitenexternaldll` stops embedding DLL file in a Windows executable.
// `ebitenexternaldll` works only for Windows.
// The executable will require a DLL file at the working directory. Copy them from Ebiten repository's `internal/glfw`:
//
// * `glfw_windows_386.dll` for Windows 386
// * `glfw_windows_amd64.dll` for Windows amd64
//
2021-10-20 18:28:07 +02:00
// The directory path can be obtained by Go commands. For example, on PowerShell:
//
// $dir = go list -f '{{.Dir}}' github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/v2/internal/glfw
// echo $dir\glfw_windows_amd64.dll
//
// and on shell:
//
// echo $(go list -f '{{.Dir}}' github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/v2/internal/glfw)/glfw_windows_amd64.dll
//
// Embedding a DLL and extracting it on the fly might be problematic on Windows since the application might be
// unexpectedly recognized as a virus by some virus checkers.
// `ebitenexternaldll` is useful for such cases. See #1832 for the discussion.
