cf_app_is_running

Category: app
GitHub: cute_app.h

Returns true while the app should keep running. Call this as your main loop condition.

bool cf_app_is_running();

Return Value

Returns true if the application should continue running.

Code Example

Creating a basic 640x480 window for your game.

#include <cute.h>
using namespace cute;

int main(int argc, const char argv)
{
    // Create a window with a resolution of 640 x 480, along with a DirectX 11 context.
    app_make("Fancy Window Title", 0, 50, 50, 640, 480, CF_APP_OPTIONS_D3D11_CONTEXT, argv[0]);

    while (app_is_running())
    {
        app_update();
        // All your game logic and updates go here...
        app_draw_onto_screen();
    }

    app_destroy();

    return 0;
}

Remarks

Some OS events, like clicking the red X on the app, will signal the app should shutdown. This will cause this function to return false. You may manually call cf_app_signal_shutdown to signal a shutdown.
