SixtyFPS development guide

The build instructions are in the building.md file

Repository structures

helper_crates

A set of crates that are somehow not strictly related to sixtyfps, and that could be moved to their own repository and have their own version release at some point.

sixtyfps_compiler

The main library for the compiler for .60.

Nothing in there should depends on the runtime crates.

There is a test subdirectory that contains the syntax tests. These tests allow to test the proper error conditions.

sixtyfps_runtime

The library crates that are used at runtime.

  • corelib is the main library. It is meant to be used for all frontends. Ideally it should be kept as small as possible. corelib-macros contains some procedural macro used by corelib.
  • rendering_backends contains the different backend for the different platform, separated from corelib. Currently there is just the gl backend
  • interpreter is the library used by the more dynamic languages backend to compile and interet .60 files. It links both against corelib and the compiler lib

tools

  • compiler is the tool to generate the target language (e.g. c++) from the .60 files for frontend that have a compilation step and generated code.
  • viewer is a tool that allow to open and view a .60 file.

api

Here one find the frontend for different language.

tests

The integration test that are testing a bunch of .60 with different frontends
