MoltenPixels

Simple 2D Graphics Cross Platform Fast Library for Delphi

Win32 Win64 MacOS iOS Android

Deploy on all Platforms!

(i don't forgot Linux, but we need to have suppot on community edition to add it to the list)

MoltenPixels is a Delphi Project Application template for easy management of OpenGL and OpenGLES capabilities.

This "App template" is not a VCL or Firemonkey app, it manages his own App model that creates a native window with an OpenGL viewport.

The main idea of the project is to reduce the complexity of rendering 2D Images and Shapes with High Performance, High FPS and Full Cross Platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS and Android), by implementing OpenGL and OpenGLES primitives on each platform.

Also you can use a regular Firemoneky Form to create some UI interfaces including standard Firemonkey controls and Skia controls on windows apps usings differets forms,... i need to figured out how to deal with android and ios to do that

special credits to https://github.com/neslib/DelphiLearnOpenGL.git where i start to learn openGl and cross platform for Delphi great reference

How to Use it

Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/ututuco/MoltenPixels.git

You can change the file https://github.com/ututuco/MoltenPixels/blob/main/src/Projects/MyProject1/Controller.pas to learn how its works!

You can add assets loading from file (methods) or just adding to a zipfile into .res project file
