An Open-Source Interactive Film Engine that lets you create Interactive Films with ease.

This project is still in-progress. It may not work in its current state.

---

Getting Started

Linux/Unix (NOT OSX)

Note: Unix based platforms other than Mac OSX have not been tested. Hexwave may not work on those platforms.

Download the git repo (via git clone or downloading as a zip) and put it somewhere! From there, run cmake -B build in the folder and then cmake --build build -j4.

Mac OSX

Sadly, in the current state of Hexwave, OSX is not supported as Hexwave uses older versions of OpenGL that do not work on OSX.

This is subject to change.

Windows

Note: Whilst MinGW may be supported by the other libraries used, we do not directly support it and will not offer support for it. If it works for you, great! However, we will not be directly supporting that as it has far too many issues. You should either use MSVC or clang-cl.

Download VCPKG and install FFmpeg with vcpkg install ffmpeg. This may take a while.

Download the git repo, From there, open the project with Visual Studio and let it initialise. Then hit Build -> Build All.

Once Hexwave has finished building, you'll have a Hexwave.exe in out/build/x64-Debug, run that and there you go!
