A really simple and rudimentary way of getting some pixels on the screen specifically for windows using the win32 API. It is also a good ground(ish) work for a software renderer.
Make sure you have MSVC installed and you can use the compiler from the command prompt. Running vcvarsall
before attempting to compile covers all you need.
Next is to run .\build.bat
then run the executable .\bin\asake_debug.exe
.
You should get a window like the demo. Also you can use Ctrl+Q
to close the window (That should be a standard for all application).
