```rust
use ezwin::prelude::*;

fn main() {
  // Configure
  let settings = WindowSettings::default();

  // Build
  let window = Window::new(settings).unwrap();

  // Run
  for message in &window {
    if let Message::Window(..) = message {
      println!("{message:?}");
    }
  }
}
```

## Goals


The main goal of `ezwin` is to have a simple, easy-to-use API. The target audience is game developers looking to create
a window quickly and easily. I aim to have feature-parity with `winit` eventually as a secondary goal.

Cross-platform support is unlikely, but pull requests are welcomed if anyone else wants to tackle it.

I would like to eventually transition from using `windows` to `windows-sys` to benefit from better compile times,
as the wrappers included in the former are redundant for this crate.

## Cargo Features


* **`rwh_05` / `rwh_06`:** use the appropriate version of `raw-window-handle`. `rwh_06` is the default.

## Examples


You can find examples in [the examples folder](examples). You can also see the vulkano branch of
[foxy-rs/foxy](https://github.com/foxy-rs/foxy/tree/vulkano), which as of the time of writing is utilizing `ezwin`, but
is subject to change.

## FAQ


**Q:** Why not `winit`?

**A:** While `winit` is the best choice for pretty much everyone, I found that multithreading the windows message pump
could lead to performance gains. Additionally, I was simply not satisfied with the way the `winit` API looks and feels.
If you are perfectly satisfied with what `winit` offers, then I recommend you stick with it.

**Q:** What happened to the 3.0 version?

**A:** As this project is in flux, there was a temporary `3.0` version that was implemented which strayed from my vision of
the crate. I regret publishing that version, and have since yanked each of them off of crates.io. In the future, I intend
to be far more deliberate and considerate over what gets published rather than willy-nilly publishing the next big features.

⚠️ This project is still hilariously incomplete. I am only one student, after all. ⚠️
