vGizmo3D - WGPU / WebGPU example

This is a easy example that use WebGPU as graphics backend . It was written in C++ and can be compiled in native mode (for a standalone desktop application) or with EMSCRIPTEN to perform it via the web browser

• NEW v4.0 WiP WebGPU cube example - from new easy_examples ( WebGPU / Vulkan / OpenGL )
  also displayed in full canvas (w/o instructions and mouse buttons helper)

*It's necessary to use a browser with WebGPU capabilities: e.g. Chrome-Canary, FireFox Nightly, Safari Technology Preview ...

This example use Google DAWN (as WGPU SDK) to build native executable (CMakeLists.txt).

How to Build

It's necessary to have installed GLFW (development package) and python3 (Google DAWN requires)

Native - Desktop application

• clone Google DAWN (WGPU SDK): git clone https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn
• Install Ninja build system (DAWN requires)
• from/inside cube_WGPU folder type: cmake -B build -DCURRENT_DAWN_DIR=path/where/cloned/dawn (absolute or relative path)
• then cmake --build build

Emscripten - Web Browser application (WASM)

• Install Emscripten SDK following the instructions: https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html
• Install Ninja build system
• emcmake cmake -G Ninja -B build
• cmake --build build

then

• emrun build/name_of_example.html

or

• python -m http.server (in build folder)... then open WGPU browser with url: http://localhost:8000/name_of_example.html
