Go Bindings for GLFW 3

• ATTENTION: As of GLFW 3.1 we break API. See Changelog below.
• See here for documentation.
• You can help by submitting examples to go-gl/examples.

Remarks

• Some functions -which are marked in the documentation- can be called only from the main thread. You need to use runtime.LockOSThread() to arrange that main() runs on main thread.
• Installation is easy, just go get github.com/go-gl/glfw3 and be done (GLFW sources are included so you don't have to build GLFW on your own)!

Example

package main

import (
	"runtime"

	glfw "github.com/go-gl/glfw3"
)

func init() {
	runtime.LockOSThread()
}

func main() {
	err := glfw.Init()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer glfw.Terminate()

	window, err := glfw.CreateWindow(640, 480, "Testing", nil, nil)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	window.MakeContextCurrent()

	for !window.ShouldClose() {
		// Do OpenGL stuff
		window.SwapBuffers()
		glfw.PollEvents()
	}
}

Changelog

• Added Floating and AutoIconify window hints.
• GLFW revision 5d525c4a5f9da0b8744f29affbf77d3a9580905c
• Easy go get installation (GLFW source code included in-repo and compiled in so you don‘t have to build GLFW on your own first and you don’t have to distribute shared libraries).
• SetErrorCallback This function is removed. The callback is now set internally. Functions return an error with corresponding code and description (do a type assertion to GlfwError for accessing the variables).
• Init Returns an error instead of bool.
• GetTime Returns an error.
• GetCurrentContext No longer returns an error.
• GetJoystickAxes No longer returns an error.
• GetJoystickButtons No longer returns an error.
• GetJoystickName No longer returns an error.
• window.GetMonitor No longer returns an error.
• window.GetAttribute Returns an error.
• window.SetCharacterCallback Accepts rune instead of uint.
• window.SetDropCallback added.
• window.SetCharacterModsCallback added.
• PostEmptyEvent added.
• Native window and context handlers added.
• Constant ApiUnavailable changed to APIUnavailable.
• Constant ClientApi changed to ClientAPI.
• Constant OpenglForwardCompatible changed to OpenGLForwardCompatible.
• Constant OpenglDebugContext changed to OpenGLDebugContext.
• Constant OpenglProfile changed to OpenGLProfile.
• Constant SrgbCapable changed to SRGBCapable.
• Constant OpenglApi changed to OpenGLAPI.
• Constant OpenglEsApi changed to OpenGLESAPI.
• Constant OpenglAnyProfile changed to OpenGLAnyProfile.
• Constant OpenglCoreProfile changed to OpenGLCoreProfile.
• Constant OpenglCompatProfile changed to OpenGLCompatProfile.
