Magic Enum C++ VS GLM

I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

Also, a shoutout to Magic Enum: https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

What does this have to offer over magic_enum?

But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:

You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum

Also if you want to convert enum members to string representation I suggest you just use magic_enum instead, much smaller dependency.

Magic Enum provides that.

I am a greenhorn at graphics programming. I just made an app in OpenGL with C++ that I now need to change over to a browser app with WebGL. WebGL looks pretty cool but since my app does a lot of calculations I assumed I should keep the heavier calculating parts in C++ with emscripten ( which I am also just learning ). So looking at it, it just looks like glm is the only library I seriously need for my c++ code and that seems pretty cool because it is a header only app it says. But in the github there are a lot of folders and files so I am not sure which are indispensable or not. Any advice?

GLM does it quite well, it has core includes then a detail folder with all the inl files that get added. https://github.com/g-truc/glm

I once ported an OpenGL code base over to Metal. For me, it was essential to do as much code sharing as possible. Because I was using the GLM library in that code base and generally found that library very useful I wanted to know whether I can use GLM with Metal. I had to do some research but it turned out it works really well, see here

I would also recommend GLM

Alongside MiniEngine, you’ll want to look into the DirectX Toolkit. This is a set of utilities by Microsoft that simplify graphics and game development. It contains libraries like DirectXMesh for parsing and optimizing meshes for DX12, or DirectXMath which handles 3D math operations like the OpenGL library glm. It also has utilities for gamepad input or sprite fonts. You can see a list of the headers here to get an idea of the features. You’ll definitely want to include this in your project if you don’t want to think about a lot of these solved problems (and don’t have to worry about cross-platform support).
