To test browsers in 60Hz mode following changes were made:
* Firefox 27 about:config adjustments: `webgl.prefer-native-gl true` (on Windows),
and `layout.frame_rate 500`.
* Chrome 33 command line option: `--disable-gpu-vsync`.
#### 30Hz (test for browsers)
By default browsers are using vsync, and don't have option to turn it off
programatically.

Dependencies
------------
[https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx](https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx)
Building
--------
### Prerequisites
Windows users download GnuWin32 utilities from:
[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)
[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm)
[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm)
[http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libintl.htm](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libintl.htm)
### Getting source
git clone git://github.com/bkaradzic/bx.git
git clone git://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx.git
cd bgfx
make
After calling `make`, .build/projects/* directory will be generated. All
intermediate files generated by compiler will be inside .build directory
structure. Deleting .build directory at any time is safe.
### Prerequisites for Android
Download AndroidNDK from:
[https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html](https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html)
setx ANDROID_NDK_ROOT <path to AndroidNDK directory>
setx ANDROID_NDK_ARM <path to AndroidNDK directory>\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.7\prebuilt\windows-x86_64
setx ANDROID_NDK_MIPS <path to AndroidNDK directory>\toolchains\mipsel-linux-android-4.7\prebuilt\windows-x86_64
setx ANDROID_NDK_X86 <path to AndroidNDK directory>\toolchains\x86-4.7\prebuilt\windows-x86_64
### Prerequisites for Linux
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
### Prerequisites for Native Client
Download Native Client SDK from:
[https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download](https://developers.google.com/native-client/sdk/download)
setx NACL_SDK_ROOT <path to Native Client SDK directory>
### Prerequisites for Windows
When building on Windows, you have to set DXSDK_DIR environment variable to
point to DirectX SDK directory.
setx DXSDK_DIR <path to DirectX SDK directory>
If you're building with Visual Studio 2008, you'll need TR1 support from:
[Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Release](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6922)
If you're building with MinGW/TDM compiler on Windows make DirectX SDK
directory link to directory without spaces in the path.
mklink /D c:\dxsdk <path to DirectX SDK directory>
setx DXSDK_DIR c:\dxsdk
Apply this [patch](https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx/blob/master/include/compat/mingw/dxsdk.patch)
to DXSDK from June 2010 to be able to use it with MinGW/TDM.
### Building
Visual Studio 2008 command line:
make vs2008-release64
Visual Studio 2008 IDE:
start .build/projects/vs2008/bgfx.sln
Xcode 5 IDE:
open .build/projects/xcode4/bgfx.xcworkspace
Due to [inability](http://industriousone.com/debugdir) to set working directory for an Xcode project from premake configuration file, it has to be set manually for each example project:
1. Open *"Edit scheme..."* dialog for a given project.
2. Select *"Run"* settings.
3. Check *"Use custom working directory"* and enter following path: `${PROJECT_DIR}/../../../examples/runtime`.
Linux 64-bit:
make linux-release64
WinRT / Windows Phone 8.1:
../bx/tools/bin/windows/genie --vs=winphone81 vs2013
Build the resulting solution and deploy to device. Note that
shaders will need to be compiled with the appropriate target profile for your platform.
Other platforms:
make <configuration>
Configuration is `<platform>-<debug/release>[32/64]`. For example:
linux-release32, nacl-debug64, nacl-arm-debug, pnacl-release,
android-release, etc.
Internals
---------
bgfx is using sort-based draw call bucketing. This means that submission order
doesn't necessarily match the rendering order, but on the low-level they
will be sorted and ordered correctly. On the high level this allows
more optimal way of submitting draw calls for all passes at one place, and on
the low-level this allows better optimization of rendering order. This sometimes
creates undesired results usually for GUI rendering, where draw order should
usually match submit order. bgfx provides way to enable sequential rendering for
these cases (see `bgfx::setViewSeq`).
Internally all low-level rendering draw calls are issued inside single function
`Context::rendererSubmit`. This function exist inside each renderer backend
implementation.
More detailed description of sort-based draw call bucketing can be found at:
[Order your graphics draw calls around!](http://realtimecollisiondetection.net/blog/?p=86)
Customization
-------------
By default each platform has sane default values. For example on Windows default
renderer is DirectX9, and on Linux it is OpenGL 2.1. On Windows platform all
rendering backends are available. For OpenGL ES on desktop you can find more
information at:-
[OpenGL ES 2.0 and EGL on desktop](http://www.g-truc.net/post-0457.html)
If you're targeting specific mobile hardware, you can find GLES support in their
official SDKs:
[Adreno SDK](http://developer.qualcomm.com/mobile-development/mobile-technologies/gaming-graphics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources),
[Mali SDK](http://www.malideveloper.com/),
[PowerVR SDK](http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/sdkdownloads/).
All configuration settings are located inside [src/config.h](https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/blob/master/src/config.h).
Every `BGFX_CONFIG_*` setting can be changed by passing defines thru compiler
switches. For example setting preprocessor define `BGFX_CONFIG_RENDERER_OPENGL=1`
will change backend renderer to OpenGL 2.1. on Windows. Since rendering APIs are
platform specific, this obviously won't work nor make sense in all cases.
Certain platforms have only single choice, for example the Native Client works
only with OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer, using anything other than that will result in
build errors.
Debugging and Profiling
-----------------------
### RenderDoc
Loading of RenderDoc is integrated in bgfx when using DX11 renderer. You can
drop in `renderdoc.dll` from RenderDoc distribution into working directory,
and it will be automatically loaded during bgfx initialization. This allows
frame capture at any time by pressing **F11**.
Download: [RenderDoc](https://renderdoc.org/builds)
### IntelGPA
Right click **Intel GPA Monitor** tray icon, choose preferences, check
"Auto-detect launched applications" option. Find `InjectionList.txt` in GPA
directory and add `examples-*` to the list.

SDL, GLFW, etc.
---------------
It is possible to use bgfx with SDL, GLFW and similar cross platform windowing
libraries. The main requirement is that windowing library provides access to
native window handle that's used to create Direct3D device or OpenGL context.
Using bgfx with SDL example:
#include <SDL.h>
#include <bgfxplatform.h> // it must be included after SDL to enable SDL
// integration code path.
#include <bgfx.h>
...
int main(...
{
SDL_window* window = SDL_CreateWindow(...
bgfx::sdlSetWindow(window);
...
bgfx::init();
Tools

### Shader Compiler (shaderc)
bgfx cross-platform shader language is based on GLSL syntax. It's uses ANSI C
preprocessor to transform GLSL like language syntax into HLSL. This technique
has certain drawbacks, but overall it's simple and allows quick authoring of
cross-platform shaders.
Some differences between bgfx's shaderc flavor of GLSL and regular GLSL:
- No `bool/int` uniforms, all uniforms must be `float`.
- Attributes and varyings can be accessed only from `main()` function.
- Must use `SAMPLER2D/3D/CUBE/etc.` macros instead of `sampler2D/3D/Cube/etc.`
tokens.
- Must use `vec2/3/4_splat(<value>)` instead of `vec2/3/4(<value>)`.
- Must use `mul(x, y)` when multiplying vectors and matrices.
- Must use `varying.def.sc` to define input/output semantic and precission
instead of using `attribute/in` and `varying/in/out`.
- `$input/$output` tokens must appear at the begining of shader.
For more info see [shader helper macros](https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx/blob/master/src/bgfx_shader.sh).
### Texture Compiler (texturec)
This tool doesn't currently exist. To produce DDS, KTX or PVR textures use:
[.dds - nVidia Texture Tools - DDS Utilities](https://developer.nvidia.com/legacy-texture-tools)
[.ktx - Mali GPU Texture Compression Tool](http://malideveloper.arm.com/develop-for-mali/mali-gpu-texture-compression-tool/)
[.pvr - PowerVR Insider SDK](http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/sdkdownloads/index.asp)
### Geometry Compiler (geometryc)
Converts Wavefront .obj mesh file to format optimal for using with bgfx.
Todo
----
- Blit between textures.
- Occlusion queries.
- Fullscreen mode.
- ETC2, PVRTC1/2 decoding fallback for targets that don't support it natively.
