Simple NodGL Examples

Complete, working programs you can learn from!

Example 1: Bouncing DVD Logo

#include "NodGL.h"
#include "libc.h"

int md_main(long argc, char **argv) {
    NodGL_Device device;
    NodGL_Context ctx;
    NodGL_CreateDevice(NodGL_FEATURE_LEVEL_1_0, &device, &ctx, NULL);
    
    uint32_t screen_w, screen_h;
    NodGL_GetScreenResolution(device, &screen_w, &screen_h);
    
    int x = 100, y = 100;
    int dx = 3, dy = 2;
    uint32_t color = 0xFFFF0000;

        // Move
        x += dx;
        y += dy;

Building and Running

Save any example as myprogram.c and build it:

# Compile
gcc -m64 -O2 -ffreestanding -nostdlib -I/path/to/include \
    -c myprogram.c -o myprogram.o

# Link
ld -T user.ld myprogram.o libc.a lib_NodGL.a -o myprogram.sqr

# Run in ModuOS
./myprogram.sqr

Tips for Learning

  1. Start simple - Begin with Example 1 or 2
  2. Modify values - Change colors, speeds, sizes to see what happens
  3. Add features - Try adding sound effects or new game mechanics
  4. Combine examples - Mix starfield with pong for a cool background!
  5. Read the code - Understand each line before moving on

Challenges

Try these on your own:

  1. Breakout - Make a brick-breaking game
  2. Snake - Classic snake game with growing tail
  3. Flappy Bird - Side-scrolling obstacle avoidance
  4. Memory Match - Card matching game
  5. Space Invaders - Shoot falling enemies

Have fun coding! 🚀
