I think my renderer's API is pretty easy to work with so far!
Loading a model causes any needed materials, shaders, textures, etc. to load automatically, so the programmer only needs to worry about telling it what models to display.
int main() { WindowSystem window(1280, 720, "ZGE"); ZRender *zr = window.getRenderer(); const ModelID cube = zr_load_model(zr, "models/cube.obj"); const auto view_pos = glm::vec3(3, 3, 3); const auto view_dir = glm::normalize(glm::vec3(-1, -1, -1)); const auto up_dir = glm::vec3(0, 1, 0); const auto projection = glm::perspective(glm::radians(70.0f), 1280.0f / 720.0f, 0.1f, 1000.0f); while (!window.shouldClose()) { WindowSystem::pollEvents(); window.beginFrame(); constexpr auto cube_transform = glm::identity<glm::mat4>(); zr_draw(zr, &cube, &cube_transform, 1, view_pos, view_dir, up_dir, projection ); window.endFrame(); } zr_shutdown(zr); return 0; }

ohh yeah!
Miss my old Sony Ericsson xperia1 x1 with a real keyboard and a more open OS (who would have thought that about a windowsystem)
