openArabTools

an open-source C++ and OpenGL 4 implementation of ArabTools, a student-only library for demonstration purposes

Why?

This library is designed so that the students who are currently learning C++, students who have already left the school and/or the people just curious to experience ArabTools a way to still have access to it.

The documentation for openArabTools is accessible in the docs folder.

How to use it?

Simply include the OpenArabTools.hpp header and link the library. The process will depend whether you are using Visual Studio, CodeLite or any other IDE. Documentation is in the docs/ folder in the Markdown format.

Comparison to the original ArabTools

Example: Simple semaphore in Java (standard ArabTools):

import cz.gyarab.util.Utils;
import cz.gyarab.util.light.Semaphore;

class Main {
	public static void Main(String[] Args) {
		Semaphore s = Semaphore.createSemaphore();
		s.showWindow();
	}
}

In C++ with openArabTools:

(NOTE: Other namespaces may be used: OpenArabTools = ArabTools = oAT = AT)

#include "OpenArabTools.hpp"

int main() {
	ArabTools::init();
	ArabTools::Semaphore s;
	s.showWindowAndRun();
	ArabTools::terminate();
}

Example: Running concurrently in C++ with openArabTools

#include "OpenArabTools.hpp"

void Function(const ArabTools::uint8_t ThreadId, const ArabTools::uint64_t Id) {
	//do something
	return;
}

int main() {
	ArabTools::init();
	ArabTools::Utils::runConcurrently(100000, true, Function);
	ArabTools::terminate();
}

openArabTools - differences

• written in C++ as supposed to Java
• uses OpenGL 4
• has slightly different syntax (while still retaining the methods and camelCase)
• provides more utility functions and classes
• compiles directly to an .exe file

Accessing the internal API

...is not recommended, but possible nonetheless.

Use it only if you want to extend the functionality of oAT. Everything from the internal API (which can be accessed without nuking the entire library) is in the ArabTools::Internal namespace.

Documentation for the internal API is located in docs/dev.html
