>On the other hand, if you don't mind using other languages for the host code, there are a number of libraries in Java, Python, etc. that make it much simpler and more feature-comp…

My primary platform is OSX, and Chlorine was written to target OSX first. It is arguably the easiest to get started under OSX.

The idea is to be super simple and easy to pick up. I'd rather spend my day to day time working on interesting problems, rather than slapping together boilerplate. Hence, my goal i…

By "developer" is this from the perspective of say, a company looking to use Glitter as a starting point for something? Glitter started off as a quickstart for students taking Comp…

TIL! This is awesome! I never knew about this. What does it do under Windows? Does it run say, devenv.exe/msbuild in the shell, as opposed to in Visual Studio?

Hey, I noticed you haven't actually opened an issue. Did you work through your problem or ...?

Hi, can you open a GitHub issue for this? Would prefer to keep problems centralized to the repository.

This was asked in an issue earlier today. It's a combination of 1) I didn't even know such flags existed! and 2) I had some compatibility issues with older versions of CMake on my …

This might be easier on the eyes for people as well: http://polytonic.github.io/Glitter/ Looks a bit prettier than the default GitHub repository page anyway.

Yeah, CMake is a bit of a complicated beast to "learn" so to speak. I spent a fair number of hours pulling my hair out trying to get it working. This is the result! Hope you find i…

GLUT is a windowing library. GLFW3, SDL, SFML mostly replace everything it does in terms of windowing and input. :)

They certainly do appeal, but are likely a little outside my expertise to go implement, at least right now. Definitely something I'll look into, time permitting! I was aiming more …

It would be an interesting comparison, yeah. I haven't worked with CUDA much lately though. I was thinking of adding CUDA support so that Chlorine would default to CUDA on Nvidia c…

I was contemplating doing a FFT as a demo, but Mandelbrot was low hanging fruit that made for pretty pictures. Keep in mind this was student work. If you have a specific problem in…

I think the problem with (most of?) these libraries is that they don't solve the fundamental problem, which is: the OpenCL API is awful to work with. Various strategies have been a…
