olcPixelGameEngine-macos

The repository contains the latest version of https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/olcPixelGameEngine updated to be built on macOS.

Supports older macOS versions, e.g. builds and runs fine on OSX 10.13 and OSX 10.14. No XCode required.

If the olcPixelGameEngine.h file is out of date, then feel free to open a PR to update it!

Requirements

The only requirement is having X11 installed. X11 is no longer included in macOS, but X11 server and client libraries are available from the XQuartz project (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201341).

You can download X11 from https://www.xquartz.org/ and easily install it. Typical installation path is /usr/X11 and it contains includes and libraries for X11 and OpenGL.

I will be working on XCode and Metal support as well.

Build and run the example program

Run this command to build and the example program and then run it:

g++ -o olcExampleProgram olcExampleProgram.cpp \
  -I/usr/X11/include -L/usr/X11/lib -lX11 -lGL -lpng -lpthread -std=c++17

./olcExampleProgram
