Basic Examples

Example 0 - Minimal App (example_basic_0.c)

Demonstrates the bare minimum app. This app loads, runs 50 iterations of the update function (printing to console), then exits. Note: this app is not really meant to run. It is for reference.

Example 1 - API Loading (example_basic_1.c)

Note: this app is not really meant to run. It is for reference. Demonstrates:

• loading APIs
• hot reloading

Example 2 - Starter & Basic Extensions (example_basic_2.c)

Demonstrates:

• loading APIs
• loading extensions
• starter extension
• basic drawing extension (2D)
• basic screen log extension

• basic UI extension

Example 3 - Draw Extension (example_basic_3.c)

Demonstrates:

• loading APIs
• loading extensions
• drawing extension (2D)

Example 4 - UI Extension (example_basic_4.c)

Demonstrates:

• loading APIs
• loading extensions
• hot reloading
• ui extension

Example 5 - Dear ImGui (example_basic_5.c)

Demonstrates:

• Dear ImGui integration

Example 2 - Starter & Draw & Collision (example_basic_6.c)

Demonstrates:

• loading APIs
