# OPENRNDR template project

A feature rich template for creating OPENRNDR programs based on Gradle/Kts

The template consists of a configuration for Gradle and an example OPENRNDR program. The Gradle configuration should serve as the
go-to starting point for writing OPENRNDR-based software.

If you are looking at this from IntelliJ IDEA you can start by expanding the _project_ tab on the left. You will find a template program in `src/main/kotlin/TemplateProgram.kt`

You will find some [basic instructions](https://guide.openrndr.org/setUpYourFirstProgram.html) in the [OPENRNDR guide](https://guide.openrndr.org)

## Gradle tasks

 - `run` runs the TemplateProgram
 - `jar` creates an executable platform specific jar file with all dependencies
 - `jpackageZip` creates a zip with a stand-alone executable for the current platform (works with Java 14 only)

## Cross builds

To create runnable jars for a platform different from the platform you use to build one uses `./gradlew jar --PtargetPlatform=<platform>`. The supported platforms are `windows`, `macos`, `linux-x64` and `linux-arm64`. 

## Run other Kotlin programs from the command line

By default the `run` task runs the program called `TemplateProgram.kt`.
If you have other programs under your src/ folder and want
to run them from the command line use
`./gradlew -Papplication=MyProgram` to run `MyProgram.kt`.
A full package name can be specified like this: `-Papplication=foo.bar.MyProgram`.

## Github Actions

This repository contains a number of Github Actions in `./github/workflows`. 
The actions enable a basic build run on commit, plus publication actions that are executed when
a commit is tagged with a version number like `v0.*` or `v1.*`.
