TwGpu Tools

Powered by the twgpu library!

Overview

All tools are command line argument based and explain their usage with --help.

• twgpu-map-inspect: View rendered maps in a window
• twgpu-map-photography: Snap pictures of maps via the command line
• twgpu-demo-viewer: Demo player
• twgpu-encode-demo: Encode demos to images or videos.
• twgpu-benchmark: A silly and probably not trustworthy sprite rendering benchmark.
• twgpu-mipmaps: Explore how mipmaps look in twgpu.

Installation

You need Rust installed on your system.

Simply do cargo install twgpu-tools --features ffmpeg

Manual Building

You need Rust installed on your system.

To compile the tools in release mode, execute the following command in this directory:

cargo build --release --features ffmpeg

The executable files will be located in the project/workspace root in target/release/.

To compile the debug build instead, omit the --release flag. Note that debug binaries will be significantly slower. The executable files of debug builds will be located in target/debug/.

Trouble Building: Build Errors with FFmpeg?

You need to install FFmpeg on your system. If you have trouble doing so, leave out the --features ffmpeg. Note that twgpu-encode-demo won't be able to encode videos in that case.
