This repository provides a single-header, native C API of the Unigine engine transpiled from managed code for bindings in programming languages such as Rust, Zig, Nim, and many others. It can be used with any C-compatible compiler such as GCC, Clang, or MSVC. The header doesn't provide any high-level abstractions of the API and lacks opaque pointers for type-safety. Out of the box, Unigine supports C++ and C# languages, consider learning API from there.

Usage

Create a new or use an existing Unigine C++ project, recreate source folder with C sources, copy UnigineWrapper_x64.dll from SDK\bin directory to the bin directory of the project. Compile an executable by linking against UnigineWrapper_x64.dll library. Run the executable. Batch files in the root directory of the project can be edited accordingly.

The engine API can be used in two ways: by using unformatted imported functions directly, or by using macro aliases that follow C naming conventions.

Minimal executable
#include "unigine.h"

int main(int argumentsCount, char** arguments) {
	void* engine = unigine_engine_initialize(UNIGINE_VERSION, "Game", NULL, NULL, argumentsCount, arguments, NULL, NULL);

	unigine_engine_main(engine, NULL, NULL, NULL);
	unigine_engine_deinitialize();
}
Basic systems
#include "unigine.h"

// System logic

int game_system_logic_start(void) {
	/* Write here code to be called on engine initialization */

	unigine_console_run("show_messages 1");
	unigine_log_message("Hello, Unigine from C!\n");

	return 1;
}

int game_system_logic_destroy(void) {
	/* Write here code to be called on engine shutdown */

	return 1;
}

int game_system_logic_destroy_render_resources(void) {
	/* Write here code to be called when the video mode is changed or application is restarted */
