* All thirdparty prebuilt libs are built from https://github.com/axmolengine/buildware via github actions automatically.
### Highlighted Features
* Add apple M1, android x64 support, contributed by @pietpukkel

* ['Upstream-Version-License'](thirdparty/README.md)
* Third-party license overview for easier publishing of your commercial apps based on axmol framework.
* Some links to third party libs which support axmol too.
* Extensions having own license as part of there package.
* Refactor AudioEngine, OpenAL for all platforms
* [OpenAL Soft](https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft), pass -DAX_USE_ALSOFT=ON to cmake to force enabling it
* [OpenAL.framework](https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/OpenAL), if no ```AX_USE_ALSOFT``` option specified, cmake script will choose it on osx/ios/tvos, even though it was marked as deprecated, but still available.
* Refactor UserDefault with [mio](https://github.com/mandreyel/mio)
* Modularize all optional extensions, move from engine core folder to an extensions folder

* Use SAX parser for all plist files
* Spine-3.8 support
* Extension ```FairyGUI``` support
* ASTC 4x4/6x6/8x8 support (if hardware decoding is not supported, then software decoding is used)
* ETC2 RGB/RGBA support (if hardware decoding is not supported, then software decoding is used)
* Supported 2D physics engines (see also [APPENDIX.md](APPENDIX.md)):
* Box2D
* Box2D-optimized
* Chipmunk2D
* Supported 3D physics engines:
* Bullet Physics SDK
* **ImGui 1.87 integrated, easy to write game embedded tools, very easy to use, read [ImGui](extensions/ImGui/README.md) for more info**

### Quick Start
#### Common Requirement [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
* Python-2.7.17+, Python-3.7+
#### Prerequisites
1. Enter ```axmol``` root directory
2. Run ```python setup.py```, restart the console after it has finished for environment variables to take effect
#### Windows (64/32 bit Visual Studio 2019/2022)
1. Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/) 3.22.1+
2. Install Visual Studio 2019/2022 (it's recommended that you only use these versions)
3. Execute the following commands in a command line (Console, Window Terminal or Powershell)
```cd axmol ```
a) C++ 20:
- for 32 bit Visual Studio 2019:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32```
- for 64 bit Visual Studio 2019:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64```
- for 32 bit Visual Studio 2022:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32```
- for 64 bit Visual Studio 2022:
```cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64```
b) C++17
- add ```-DCXX_STD=17``` for C++17 on your command line like:
cmake -S . -B build ```-DCXX_STD=17``` -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64
4. Build excecutable in a command line (e.g. cpp-tests):
```msbuild .\build\axmol.sln -target:cpp_tests -maxCpuCount```
#### Improve 'Visual Studio' workflow, support linking with engine prebuilt libs
See [windows workflow guide](https://github.com/axmolengine/axmol/issues/564)
#### Android
##### With Android Studio
1. Install Android Studio 2021.1.1+
2. When starting Android Studio for the first time, It will guide you to install the SDK and other tools, just install them
3. Start Android and choose [Open an existing Android Studio Project] and select ```axmol\tests\cpp-tests\proj.android```
4. Start Android Studio and Open [Tools][SDKManager], then switch to ```SDK Tools```, check the ```Show Package Details```, choose the following tools and click the button ```Apply``` to install them:
* Android SDK Platform 33
* Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 7.2.2
* Android SDK Build-Tools 30.0.3 match with AGP
* Gradle 7.4.2
* NDK r23c+
* CMake 3.22.1+
5. Wait for ```Gradle sync``` finish.
6. Note: If you use non-sdk provided CMake edition, you will need to download ```ninja``` from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases, and copy ```ninja.exe``` to cmake's bin directory
##### Without Android Studio
1. Download command-tools from https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools
2. Install Android devtools (for example in windows)
```bat
# unzip command-tools at D:\dev\adt\
# Install android devtools
cd D:\dev\adt\
mkdir sdk
.\cmdline-tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat --verbose --sdk_root=D:\dev\adt\sdk "platform-tools" "cmdline-tools;latest" "platforms;android-33" "build-tools;30.0.3" "cmake;3.22.1" "ndk;23.2.8568313"
set ANDROID_HOME=D:\dev\adt\sdk
# Goto xxx\proj.android
.\gradlew.bat assembleRelease -PPROP_BUILD_TYPE=cmake -PPROP_APP_ABI=arm64-v8a --parallel --info
```
#### iOS, tvOS and macOS
1. Ensure xcode12+ & [cmake3.21+](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases) are installed, install cmake command line support: ```sudo "/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake-gui" --install```
2. Execute the following command
```sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer```
3. Generate xcode project
- for ios arm64:
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=OS64```
- for ios armv7,arm64 combined:
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=OS```
- for ios simulator x86_64:
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=SIMULATOR64```
- for tvos arm64:
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=TVOS```
- for tvos simulator x86_64:
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$AX_ROOT/cmake/ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=SIMULATOR_TVOS```
- for macos x86_64(Intel)
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64```
- for macos arm64(M1)
```cmake -S . -B build -GXcode -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64```
4. After cmake finishes generating, you can open the xcode project at ```build``` folder and run cpp-tests or other test targets.
5. Notes
- **The code signing is required to run the ios/tvos app on your device, just change the bundle identifier until the auto manage signing is solved**
- **axmol only provides armv7, arm64, x86_64 prebuilt libraries for ios/tvos**
### New Project

### Notes
* ThreadLocalStorage (TLS)
- ios x86 simulator ios>=10 and axmol no longer provide x86 libraries
- ios x64 or devices (armv7, arm64) ios sdk>=9.0
- the 'OpenAL Soft' maintained by kcat uses TLS
