wgpu bindings for Nim

How to

1. Install requirements: rust, git, nim
2. Install the bindings with nimble install https://github.com/heysokam/wgpu, or add them to your project's nimble file
3. Use import wgpu to access the wgpu bindings.

I highly recommend to follow Learn WebGPU C++ for learning the API.
It's the best newbie-friendly tutorial out there for wgpu, and it doesn't require knowing TypeScript or Rust.
As a reference, it is easier to follow than the infamous Learn OpenGL, in my opinion.

Current state and todo

• Wrapper for wgpu-native latest
• Better rename system
  • camelCase for Function names
  • Redundant type prefixes in function names
• Linux suppport
• Windows support
• Mac support
• Web support (wasm with emscripten)
  (note: not planned. send a PR if you figure it out)

Build Info

# Requirements  (manually installed by the user)
nim   # For compiling the wrapper
rust  # For compiling wgpu-native
nglfw # For using the `wgpu/extras` features provided by the lib

Static Linking

Disclaimers and Other Info

About bindings generation

This wrapper is auto-generated with Futhark.
Most names are renamed with a Callback function for ergonomics.
See the @gen/cfg file for a detailed list for renaming rules.

About the buildsystem

The buildsystem of this lib depends on cargo and git.
They will be called automatically when you build your project.
