roxlap_gpu/

lib.rs

//! WGPU-backed compute-shader renderer scaffold for the roxlap
//! voxel engine. GPU.1 in `PORTING-GPU.md`.
//!
//! GPU.1's job: stand up the device + surface + swapchain on a
//! host window (any [`raw-window-handle`](raw_window_handle)
//! provider), present a clear-to-colour frame each render call,
//! and give the host a one-call opt-in. No voxel marching yet — the
//! [`examples/probe.rs`](../examples/probe.rs) standalone holds
//! the empirical FPS baseline from GPU.0.
//!
//! Later sub-substages flesh `GpuRenderer::render` out: GPU.2
//! uploads voxel data, GPU.3 dispatches the inner-DDA compute
//! shader, GPU.4 layers in chunk skipping, GPU.5 plugs the renderer
//! into `roxlap-scene::Scene`, …
//!
//! ## Host integration shape (GPU.1)
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use roxlap_gpu::{GpuRenderer, GpuRendererSettings};
//! # use winit::window::Window;
//! # fn pick(w: Arc<Window>, size: (u32, u32)) -> Option<GpuRenderer> {
//! match GpuRenderer::new_blocking(w, size, GpuRendererSettings::default()) {
//!     Ok(r) => Some(r),
//!     Err(e) => {
//!         eprintln!("GPU init failed: {e}; falling back to CPU");
//!         None
//!     }
//! }
