Examples

This folder contains code examples for the C and C++ APIs.

Build with cmake

To build the examples with cmake, run the following commands from the root of the repository:

cd examples/c
mkdir cmake_build
cd cmake_build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

To build the C++ examples, run the same commands from examples/cpp:

cd examples/cpp
mkdir cmake_build
cd cmake_build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

This will produce two binaries for each example: one that links with a shared Flecs library, and one that is linked with static Flecs library. The binaries linked with the static library have the postfix _static.

To run a single example, execute it from the cmake_build directory:

./entities_basics_static

Build with bake

To build the examples with bake, run bake once in the root of the repository, so it knows where to find Flecs:

bake

To run a single example, use the following command:

bake run examples/c/entities/basics

To run a single example with optimizations enabled, use the following command:

bake run examples/c/entities/basics --cfg release

To build all examples, run the following command:

bake examples

See the bake repository for instructions on how to install bake.
