PortableGL
|
||
|
|
==========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a interface over platform/framework specific OpenGL bindings for C#.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The idea is to allow core application code to still include OpenGL calls by
|
||
|
|
referencing a Portable Class Library which contains an interface with the
|
||
|
|
OpenGL methods without any platform or OS-specifics. Final application builds
|
||
|
|
will also reference a "backend" assembly which contains the actual OpenGL
|
||
|
|
binding code (e.g. OpenTK, SDL2-CS, Xamarin.Android, etc).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the moment, the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification is used as the sole interface
|
||
|
|
available for both mobile and desktop platforms. I have no intention to add
|
||
|
|
any other specifications over the short-term (such as OpenGL 1.x, 3.x, etc).
|
||
|
|
My own personal goals with this library are simply to use the ES specification
|
||
|
|
for both mobile and desktop platforms to make code portability between the two
|
||
|
|
simpler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
C-style naming for the methods and OpenGL constants is intentionally left as-is
|
||
|
|
to aid in porting existing OpenGL code. I don't intend to C#-ify much, if any,
|
||
|
|
of the OpenGL methods (such as using specific enums for certain parameters).

# TODO
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mobile backends: Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS
|
||
|
|
* Add additional method overloads to PortableGL to make it easier to pass arrays of data, out parameters, etc instead of needing to use pointers all the time
