###### A rewrite of 42 School's MiniLibX using SDL2 and Vulkan. 

The goal of this version is to provide a light, fast, and modern graphical tool while keeping the same API.

#### 🍎 macOS

[MacroLibX](#) on macOS requires [SDL2](#) and [MoltenVK](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK). You can install both using the [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) package manager:
```sh
brew install molten-vk
brew install SDL2
```

### Clone and Build

Finally, you can clone the Git repository. When inside it, run the GNU `make` command to compile MacroLibX. 
```bash
git clone https://github.com/420verfl0w/MacroLibX.git
cd MacroLibX
make
```

## 🔨 Compile your project

To compile your project with MacroLibX, you just provide the shared library path in your compilation/linking command:

```sh
clang myApp.c /path/to/MacroLibX/libmlx.so -lSDL2
```

### ⚠️ Troubleshooting

#### If you run into glitches when writing or reading pixels from images

You need to add `IMAGES_OPTIMIZED=false` to your `make` command:

```sh
# In your cloned environment, inside the MacroLibX folder
make IMAGES_OPTIMIZED=false
```
