ezwin-rs

ezwin is an easy-to-use Win32 windowing library

use ezwin::prelude::*;

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

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

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

⚠️ This project is still very much a WIP; I am only one student, after all. ⚠️

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.

What happened to the 3.0 version?

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.

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. You can also see the vulkano branch of foxy-rs/foxy, which as of the time of writing is utilizing ezwin, but is subject to change.
