JustConveyors (WIP)

Mindustry and Factorio-style conveyors/transport system using SDL, OpenGL, and ImGUI on C#

Basic rendering workflow

• ImGUI renders to its buffer and writes/draws to the screen
• Surfaces of individual components are Blit onto the main surface
• The pixels data in the main surface is used to create an OpenGL texture
• A seperate OpenGL shader program is attached and the OpenGL texture is loaded into the shader, which is mapped onto a quad and drawn on the screen

This rendering workflow/pipeline isn't particularly fast or memory-efficient-- quite the contrary. It's the only current viable option for mixing SDL_Renderer with ImGUI's OpenGL-bound rendering in .NET as there are no C# bindings for imgui_impl_sdl. It's highly recommended to instead generate the required bindings to use imgui_impl_sdl for any real-world usages.

Bindings (local builds/copied from source):

• ImGui.NET : https://github.com/mellinoe/ImGui.NET
• ImGuiGL-Renderer : https://github.com/prime31/ImGuiGL-Renderer
• SDL2-CS : https://github.com/flibitijibibo/SDL2-CS

Native dependencies:

• cimgui.dll : Bundled with ImGui.NET from https://github.com/mellinoe/ImGui.NET
• libpng16-16.dll, SDL2_image.dll, zlib1.dll from https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/
• SDL2.dll from https://www.libsdl.org/

TODO:

• Add multithreading
• Add logic for all blocks
• Add save strings

This project is no longer being actively developed or maintained for the following reasons:

• I do not have the time and resources to further continue the development of JustConveyors for the being due to school and life in general
• The project is riddled with performance issues; until multithreading is implemented and the logic optimized, I foresee no active development as the final product will be slow and unusable
