## Hello V4K
```C
#include "v4k.h" // Minimal C sample
int main() {
window_create(75.0, 0); // 75% size, no extra flags
while( window_swap() && !input(KEY_ESC) ) { // game loop
puts("hello V4K from C!");
}
}
```
```lua
local v4k = require("v4k") -- Minimal Lua sample
v4k.window_create(75.0,0) -- 75% size, no extra flags
while v4k.window_swap() and v4k.input(v4k.KEY_ESC) == 0 do -- game loop
print("hello V4K from Lua!")
end
```
## Quickstart
- Double-click `MAKE.bat` to quick start.
- `MAKE.bat all` to build everything.
- `MAKE.bat proj` to generate solutions/makefiles.
- `MAKE.bat help` for a bunch of options.
- `MAKE.bat hello.c` to build a single executable.
- Alternatively,
```bat
echo win/vc && cl hello.c
echo win/clang-cl && clang-cl hello.c
echo win/tcc && tools\tcc hello.c -m64
echo win/mingw && gcc hello.c -lws2_32 -lwinmm -ldbghelp -lole32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32
echo win/clang && clang hello.c -lws2_32 -lwinmm -ldbghelp -lole32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32
echo linux && cc hello.c -lm -ldl -lpthread -lX11
echo linux/tcc && tcc hello.c -lm -ldl -lpthread -lX11 -D__STDC_NO_VLA__
echo osx && cc -ObjC hello.c -framework cocoa -framework iokit -framework audiotoolbox
```
## Cook
- Assets need to be cooked before being consumed in your application. The [tools/](tools/) folder contains all the related binaries to perform any asset processing plus the [cookbook](tools/cook.ini) to do so.
- Your game will cook all your assets as long as the [`tools/`](tools/) folder is next to your executable. Alternatively, cook them all just by invoking supplied [`tools/cook` standalone binary](tools/).
- In both cases, assets will be cooked and packed into .zipfiles next to your executable, then mounted before entering game loop. These .zipfiles plus your executable are the only required files when releasing your game.
## Extra tips
- Any ico/png file named after the executable name will be automatically used as app icon.
- Similar to the ico/png case above, the cooked .zipfiles can be named after the main executable as well.
- Dropped files into game window will be imported & saved into [`import/`](engine/art/import/) folder.
- Update the gamepad controller database by upgrading the [`gamecontrollerdb.txt`](engine/art/input/) file.
- Depending on your IDE, you might need to browse to [`engine/split/`](engine/split/) sources when debugging FWK.
- Cook assets on demand, as opposed to cook all existing assets on depot, by using `--cook-on-demand` flag.
- Linux/OSX users can optionally install wine and use the Windows tools instead (by using `--cook-wine` flag).
- Disable automatic cooking by using `--cook-jobs=0` flag (not recommended).
- Generate a project solution by dropping `engine/v4k.h, v4k.c and v4k` files into it.
- Auto-generated Luajit and Python bindings can be found in the [`engine/bind/`](engine/bind/) folder.
