# cpp_bindings
C++ bindings for the Godot script API
# Creating a GDNative library (Linux)
Create a director named `SimpleLibrary` with subdirector `lib, src`
Getting latest `cpp_bindings` and `godot_headers`
```
$ cd SimpleLibrary
$ git clone https://github.com/GodotNativeTools/cpp_bindings
$ git clone https://github.com/GodotNativeTools/godot_headers
```
right now our file structure should look like this
```
[SimpleLibrary]
├── cpp_bindings/
├── godot_headers/
├── lib/
└── src/
```
Now to generate cpp bindings
```
$ cd cpp_bindings
```
Edit `SConstruct` file and assign your godot executable path at line:7 `godot_bin_path = "../godot_fork/bin/"`,
Building core/bindings, (`libgodot_cpp_core.so` , `libgodot_cpp_bindings.so`)
```
$ scons p=linux
$ scons p=linux target=bindings generate_bindings=yes
```
resulting libraries will be placed under `bin/` and generated bindings will be found under `includes/*`
Note: Use `use_llvm=yes` to use clang.
copy Core && Bindings librarys into `SimpleLibrary/lib` folder
```
$ cd ..
$ cp cpp_bindings/bin/libgodot_cpp_core.so lib/
$ cp cpp_bindings/bin/libgodot_cpp_bindings.so lib/
```
And our file structure will be
```
[SimpleLibrary]
├── cpp_bindings/
├── godot_headers/
├── lib/
│ ├── libgodot_cpp_core.so
│ ├── libgodot_cpp_bindings.so
└── src/
```
# Creating simple class
Create `init.cpp` under `SimpleLibrary/src/` and add the following code
```cpp
#include <godot.h>
#include <core/Godot.hpp>
#include <core/GodotGlobal.hpp>
#include <Reference.hpp>
using namespace godot;
class SimpleClass : public GodotScript<Reference> {
GODOT_CLASS(SimpleClass);
public:
SimpleClass() { }
void test_void_method() {
Godot::print("This is test");
}
Variant method(Variant arg) {
Variant ret;
ret = arg;
return ret;
}
static void _register_methods() {
register_method("method", &SimpleClass::method);
}
};
GODOT_NATIVE_INIT(godot_native_init_options *options) {
register_class<SimpleClass>();
}
```
# Compiling
```
$ cd ..
$ clang -fPIC -o src/init.os -c src/init.cpp -g -O3 -std=c++14 -Icpp_bindings/include -Igodot_headers -Icpp_bindings/include/core
$ clang -o lib/libtest.so -shared src/init.os -Llib -lgodot_cpp_core -lgodot_cpp_bindings
```
This creates the file `libtest.so` in your `SimpleLibrary/lib` directory. For windows you need to find out what compiler flags need to be used.
# Creating `.gdn` file
follow [godot_header/README.md](https://github.com/GodotNativeTools/godot_headers/blob/master/README.md) file to create the `.gdn`
# Implementing with gdscript
```gdscript
var simpleclass = load("res://simpleclass.gdn").new();
simpleclass.method("Test argument");
```
