Ashton

Description

Add extra visual effects to the Gosu game-development library, utilising OpenGL shaders (using shader model 1.0, for maximum compatibility) and frame-buffers.

"Ashton" is named after Clark Ashton Smith, an fantasy/horror author with a particularly colourful imagination.

Usage

gem install ashton

Features

  • Gosu extensions

    • {Gosu::Color} - Converting to and from opengl values.

    • {Gosu::Font} - Apply shader to draw operations.

    • {Gosu::Image} - Apply shader to each draw operation or group of draws. Manipulation, such as flipping and scaling.

    • {Gosu::Window} - Post-processing with shaders. Converting to image.

  • Ashton

    • {Ashton::Texture} - Single texture (compared to Gosu::Image which uses a spritesheet) which can be drawn directly onto and drawn to the Window.

    • {Ashton::Lighting::Manager} - Manages and combines the lighting from {Ashton::Lighting::LightSource} objects.

    • {Ashton::Lighting::LightSource} - A single light-source that illuminates and whose can be blocked by shadow-casting objects.

    • {Ashton::ParticleEmitter} - Generates, manages and displays particles.

    • {Ashton::PixelCache} - Cached image data attached to an {Ashton::Texture} or {Gosu::Image}.

    • {Ashton::SignedDistanceField} - A signed distance field based on a an image mask.

    • {Ashton::Shader} - Wrapper around a GLSL shaders, Supports vertex and fragment shaders. Small shader/function library.

    • {Ashton::WindowBuffer} - Texture that is the same size as the Gosu Window that can capture the contents of the screen.

Requirements

  • OSX/Linux: Requires OpenGL library be installed.

  • {Ashton::Shader} and {Ashton::Lighting} or anything else using shaders, require OpenGL 2.0.

Similar Libraries

  • TexPlay - Deals with Gosu::Image manipulation, such as per-pixel editing and drawing. It is compatible with, and complementary to, this gem.

Third party

  • OpenGL static library (in Windows binary gem) and headers.

  • GLee source.

  • Various trivial shaders - "randomly found on the Internet" :$
