This is a port of WebGL for desktops: windows, linux, mac

It started as an extension of creationix/node-webgl and their great example com.creationix.minimason that you can find in examples/wavefront.js. However, it is now quite different and support different platform bindings, mainly GLFW instead of SDL.

• node-glfw which depends on GLEW, GLFW as well as AntTweakBar. See node-glfw for installation instructions.

• freeimage freeimage is used to load/save a variety of image formats.

node-waf configure build

examples/ contains examples from other the web test/ contains lessons from www.learningwebgl.com and other tests

simply type: node test/lesson02.js

Enjoy!

WebGL is based on OpenGL ES, a restriction of OpenGL found on desktops, for embedded systems. Because this module wraps OpenGL, it is possible to do things that may not work on web browsers. Please read http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki_1_15/index.php/WebGL_and_OpenGL_Differences to learn about the differences.

• shaders Remember to add this on top of your fragment shaders:

#ifdef GL_ES
precision highp float;
#endif

• loading external scripts If your code uses external libraries, you can load them like this. No code change to external scripts ;-)

fs=require('fs');
eval(fs.readFileSync(__dirname+ '/glMatrix-0.9.5.min.js','utf8'));

• frame rate requestAnimationFrame(callback [, delay]) works as in the browser. If delay is specified, it is the requested delay in milliseconds between animation frames e.g. 16 will provide 1000 / 16 = 62 fps at best, which is the default value if delay is undefined. If delay = 0, then the fastest possible framerate on your machine is used.
