Example of using cxgo to transpile physac 2d physics engine #43

Closed koteyur closed 2 years ago

koteyur commented 2 years ago

Hi. I've found cxgo today and I think it's really exciting!

I decided to try to find some small project in C which might be interesting to be transpiled to go and this experiment was really successful. The project I found was Physac. It's a small 2d physics engine written in pure C with just a few deps.

I created a repo with end results of my try: https://github.com/koteyur/physac-go In the first commit output is almost what I get after running cxgo. To make it usable I've just replaced time functions from libc package, because some of them wasn't implemented. After that it started working just fine.

TLDR; I think, this example of completely working program after using cxgo might be interesting.

Thanks!

Glad to hear that it was useful! :) I'll add your project to the list in the readme, if you don't mind.

Indeed, some functions are still stubs, so contributions are welcome!

Sure, thank you!

I'll probably make a PR with my changes to libc/time.go with partial support of CLOCK_MONOTINIC
