# libwindmill - a 3D engine for your CASIO fx-9860G
## Introduction
Windmill is a 3D engine project by Ninestars, originally developed in C++ and
built with the CASIO fx-9860G SDK. It was adapted to compile with GNU
utilities by Cakeisalie5.

This 3D engine is made to be easy to use, and modular, in order to quickly
create a game, or to use it in an existing project.
It features the following:  
* Calculates coordinates to display them on screen;
* Camera that can move in any direction and turn around using two axes;
* Management of display windows;
* Depth buffer so objects hidden behind others aren't displayed;
* Display of textures defined as images;
* Simplified management of meshes and textures;
* Display of fixed and dynamic objects that can turn following three axes;
* Simultaneous renders.

Windmill is only a graphical engine, it only displays predefined triangles
in space on the screen, which means it doesn't manage collisions between
objects, or between an object and the camera.

## Requirements/setup
This project is easier to build under GNU/Linux. It might be possible to
build it for Microsoft Windows, but this host platform is not officially
supported.

You will need [GCC][gcc] and [GNU Binutils][binutils], both compiled for the
`sh3eb-elf` target, and the [G1A wrapper][wrapper]. A french tutorial of how
to make and install all of these can be found [on Planète Casio][pc-gcc-tuto]
(steps 1 to 6 included).

## Build
Just type in the following:

	./configure && make
