BigWheels is a cross-platform, API agnostic framework to build graphics applications.
Supported platforms:
Supported graphics APIs:
Note: This is not an officially supported Google product.
See the documentation for instructions on how to build and run BigWheels and the sample projects.
BigWheels uses GoogleTest for its unit testing framework. Unit tests can be optionally disabled from the build with -DPPX_BUILD_TESTS=OFF
.
To add a new test:
1) Add and write a new test file under src/test/
, e.g. src/test/new_test.cpp
.
2) Add the new file name to the list of test sources in src/test/CMakeLists.txt
.
To build tests (without running them), use ninja build-tests
. Test binaries are output in test/
.
To run tests (they will be built if needed), use ninja run-tests
.
BigWheels includes a variety of benchmarks that test graphics fundamentals under the benchmarks
folder. See the documentation for benchmarks on how to build and run them.
If you don't have a compatible GPU, you can use a software renderer to run BigWheels applications. See the documentation for software rendering options for Vulkan and DirectX.
We run automated workflows for testing as part of PR submissions. See the documentation for information on what is tested and common maintenance tasks.
