Simple example using C

This is a small example using C to create a GDNative script that just showcases some very simple bare bones calls

Compiling

Dependencies:

You need to have the Godot headers saved somewhere on your system
clang or any decent C compiler that's C11 or C99 compatible

Scons (cross platform)

You can use scons to compile the library if you have it installed:

scons platform=PLATFORM

Where platform is: x11, osx or windows Optionally you can specify:

headers=/PATH/TO/GODOT/HEADERS

Linux

To compile the library on Linux, do

cd src
clang -std=c11 -fPIC -c -I/PATH/TO/GODOT/HEADERS simple.c -o simple.os
clang -shared simple.os -o ../bin/libsimple.so

This creates the file libsimple.so in your src directory. For windows you need to find out what compiler flags need to be used, I don't know which ones. (If you do, feel free to fork and update this project and README)

Mac OS X

On Mac OS X:

cd src
clang -std=c11 -fPIC -c -I/PATH/TO/GODOT/HEADERS simple.c -o simple.os -arch i386 -arch x86_64
clang -dynamiclib simple.os -o ../bin/libsimple.dylib -arch i386 -arch x86_64

This creates the file 'libsimple.dylib' as a universal binary (or alternatively remove one of the -arch options from both commands if you want to just compile for one architecture).

Windows

To be added

Usage

Create a new object using load("res://SIMPLE.gdns").new()

This object has following methods you can use:

get_data()
