VISU Quickstart
===============

[](#visu-quickstart)

This is a quickstart guide to create a minimal and lightweight VISU application for rapid prototyping.

Using this quickstart will provide you with the bare minimum code and scaffolding for a simple VISU application. If you're looking for the **full scaffolding** for more complex applications where you maintain full control, check out [VISU Starter](https://github.com/phpgl/visu-starter).

The Quickstart will provide the following:

- A minimal application class `src/Application.php`.
    - `draw` method with a simple rendering pipeline prebuilt.
    - `update` method which is called at a fixed interval.
- Simple game loop metrics, showing the current FPS, frame times, and update times.
- Event handling and Input Events.
    - An `InputContext` with no actions assigned.
- Offscreen rendering to a texture by default.
- Properly resizing render target and HDPI handling.
- ECS (Entity Component System) is available.
- Vector Graphics frame is preinitialized.

Prerequisites
-------------

[](#prerequisites)

- PHP 8.1 or higher
- PHP-GLFW extension installed
- Composer

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use Composer to create a new project based on visu-quickstart:

```
composer create-project phpgl/visu-quickstart -s dev --prefer-dist my-visu-project
```

After the installation is complete, you can start the application by running:

```
cd my-visu-project
php ./bin/start.php
```
