Functions

glfw.Init

Initializes the glfw-library 

glfw.Init()

Example -> see glfw.CreateWindow

glfw.WindowHint

A function to save all setups for the next call of the function glfw.CreateWindow 

glfw.WindowHint(hint i32, value i32)

Example -> see glfw.CreateWindow

hints i32

see the glfw.org-documentation

glfw.CreateWindow

glfw.CreateWindow(window_identifier str, window_width i32, window_height i32, window_caption str)
Example 
//glfw.Init, glfw.WindowHint, glfw.CreateWindow (,glfw.MakeContextCurrent)
////inputs
var window_identifier str = "Window1"
var window_widht i32 = 1920  //pixles
var window_height i32 = 1000 //pixles
var window_caption str = "window-caption-example"
////function call
glfw.Init()
glfw.WindowHint(glfw.Resizable, glfw.False)
glfw.WindowHint(glfw.ContextVersionMajor, 2)
glfw.WindowHint(glfw.ContextVersionMinor, 1)

glfw.CreateWindow(window_identifier, window_width, window_height, window_caption)
glfw.MakeContextCurrent(window_identifier)

glfw.MakeContextCurrent

Activates the given window 

glfw.MakeContextCurrent(window_identifier str)


example -> see glfw.CreateWindow

glfw.ShouldClose

Returns if the given window should be closed 

glfw.ShouldClose(window_identifier str)(should_close bool)

Example 
//glfw.ShouldClose
////input
var window_identifier str = "Window1"
////output
var should_close bool
////function call
should_close = glfw.ShouldClose(window_identifier str)
for bool.not(should_close){
    //do something
}
////function call alternative
for bool.not(glfw.ShouldClose(window_identifier str)){
    //do something
}

glfw.SetShouldClose

Sets the ShouldClose of the given window to the given bool value 

glfw.SetShouldClose(window_identifier str, should_close bool)

Example 
//glfw.SetShouldClose
////input
var window_identifier str = "Window1"
var should_close bool = true
////function call
glfw.SetShouldClose(window_identifier, should_close)
