Abstract

In the context of this project, a previously Windows-only framework which was used for an introductory graphics course was turned into a CMake-based cross-plattform project, enabling its usage by maintainers and students across all three big desktop operating systems: Windows, Linux, and macOS. Furthermore, two previously separate versions for different graphics APIs (OpenGL and Vulkan) were united into a single project, thereby further improving maintainability and development comfort.
