piston_window

The official Piston convenience window wrapper for the Piston game engine

Notice! If this is your first time visiting Piston, start here.

Piston-Window is designed for only one purpose: Convenience.

Documentation

• Reexports everything you need to write 2D interactive applications
• .draw_2d for drawing 2D, and .draw_3d for drawing 3D
• Uses Gfx to work with 3D libraries in the Piston ecosystem

rn crate piston_window;
piston_window::*;
ain() {
let mut window: PistonWindow = WindowSettings::new("Hello Piston!", (640, 480))
    .exit_on_esc(true)
    .build()
    .unwrap_or_else(|e| { panic!("Failed to build PistonWindow: {}", e) });
while let Some(e) = window.next() {
    window.draw_2d(&e, |_c, g| {
        clear([0.5, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0], g);
    });
}

PistonWindow uses Glutin as window back-end by default, but you can change to another back-end, for example SDL2 or GLFW by changing the type parameter:

mut window: PistonWindow<Sdl2Window> = WindowSettings::new("Hello Piston!", [640, 480])
.exit_on_esc(true).build().unwrap();

PistonWindow implements AdvancedWindow, Window and EventLoop. Nested game loops are supported, so you can have one inside another.

e let Some(e) = window.next() {
if let Some(button) = e.press_args() {
    // Intro.
    while let Some(e) = window.next() {
        ...
    }
}
