the header collection:
- kalaheaders
the clis:
- kalamove
- kalamake
- kalafont
- kalamodel
Note: All clis follow the same original cli template which means all clis follow the same cli command system and can also accept system commands through the run command.
the libraries (rely on clis or headers in some way):
- kalawindow
- kalaui
- kalaaudio
- kalaphysics
- kalaserver
- kalalua
the executables (rely on libs or clis or headers in some way):
- elypso engine
- elypso hub
Header-only scripts made in C++ 20 for various purposes. Completely self-dependant, unrelated to each other and can be used independently without dragging any of the other ones in.
KalaMove is an executable that uses .kmf files that are designed as a lightweight, strict, and repeatable alternative to batch/shell scripts, CMake commands, or even full installers when all you need is reliable file movement.
KalaMake is an executable that uses .kmake files that are designed as my own take for an alternative to CMake, Make and others of its kind with my own syntax. The core idea is the same - compile your set of code into a runtime-ready binary.
KalaFont compiles .ttf and .otf fonts into .kfd (kalafontdata) - a runtime-ready bitmap or per-glyph binary of vertices, indices, uvs and other relevant data related to the font that was passed. Locks to one base height and strips out all metadata of the original font file.
KalaFont uses FreeType to help with font parsing but the runtime-ready binary or its importer header no longer requires FreeType. Use the importer to import the binary to your target executable.
KalaModel compiles .obj, .gltf and .fbx models into .kmd (kalamodeldata) - a runtime-ready model binary of vertices, indices, uvs and other relevant data related to the model that was passed. Strips out all metadata of the original model file.
KalaModel uses Assimp to help with model parsing but the runtime-ready binary or its importer header no longer requires Assimp. Use the importer to import the binary to your target executable.
KalaWindow is a C++20 window library for Windows, built for native desktop applications for Windows with support coming for Linux in the future.
KalaWindow creates and owns the OpenGL 3.3 context, manages the message loop, handles crashes safely through the crash handler and handles all inputs through the input framework. Glad or any other opengl function loaders are not required because KalaWindow already provides most common ones for what you would need for OpenGL 3.3 use. KalaWindow also provides a comprehensive shader compiler system with helpful uniform functions and for binding the vert/frag/geometry shader as well.
KalaUI is a retained mode production ready UI library for OpenGL 3.3 and it provides a fully self made UI framework, with a widget system where Image and Text are the root widgets that does not own or create a window or the GL context.
KalaAudio provides a simple wrapper with self-owned lifetime for MiniAudio. It supports up to 4 audio listeners, as many players as you want and covers most toggles that MiniAudio provides for audio listeners and players.
KalaPhysics aims to cover most physics needs for ray casting, collision with most popular shapes in broadphase and narrowphase and will experiment with many various other things like instant vs delayed rays.
A single .lib and .dll with no runtime of its own that can be attached to any executable or cli. Does not depend on KalaWindow, runs completely standalone from it.
Provides the networking stack required for sending and receiving packets for any server-related needs. Can autoban spammers, obvious bots trying to reach sensitive files etc.
Also provides a framework for hosting websites. Can route root path to any path inside its own root so the original path is unreachable by the end user if they try to look what files are accessible.
Uses completely original code with help from WinSock and Cloudflare Tunnel, does not rely on any external server stacks.
KalaLua is a C++ 20 wrapper library around Lua for Windows (Linux coming in the future) that allows you to route Lua calls to one middleman library without needing Lua itself in any way inside your own program.
Elypso engine is a powerful game engine for game development with OpenGL and Vulkan that is currently being rewritten. It will use KalaWindow, KalaUI, KalaAudio and KalaPhysics and will heavily rely on them.
Elypso hub is the project manager and updater for Elypso Engine that is currently being rewritten alongside the engine and it heavily relies on KalaWindow and KalaUI.
