View source for SDK 6.3

{{notice|'''Official WOWCube SDK 6.3 documentation.''' Canonical API reference, generated from the SDK headers.}}

The current WOWCube SDK. Applications can be written in '''PAWN''', '''C++''', or '''Rust'''.

== PAWN API ==
'''Legacy:''' supported, but no longer actively developed (last PAWN additions — SDK 6.2; 6.3 only removed deprecated calls). For new projects use the [[#C++ API|C++ API]].
One page per module:
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Core]] — application lifecycle, state, time, RNG, packets
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Graphics]] — drawing, images, text, shaders (GFX)
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Topology]] — cube geometry, facelets, twists
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Sound]] — sound playback
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Motion Sensor]] — accelerometer / gyroscope, taps
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Leaderboard]] — scores and achievements
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Splash Screen]] — splash screens
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Physics]] — 2D physics helpers
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Network]] — inter-module messaging
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Save]] — persistence
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Scramble]] — cube scramble
* [[SDK 6.3/PAWN/Logging]] — debug logging

* [[SDK 6.3/Changelog|SDK changelog]] — what changed in 5.1 / 6.0 / 6.2 / 6.3

== C++ API ==
C/C++ cubeapps run via WebAssembly: the same engine functions as PAWN, plus an object-oriented framework and a retained scene graph. '''This is the primary development track.'''

'''Native engine ABI''' — [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API]] (all 64 functions with full descriptions):
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Core|Core]] — time, RNG, packets, BLE, saves, user, version, logging
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Graphics|Graphics]] — drawing, images, text, shaders, QR, render targets
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Topology|Topology]] — facelets, faces, twists, orientation
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Sound|Sound]] — playback and caching
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Motion Sensors|Motion Sensors]] — accelerometer / gyroscope per display
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] — scores and rankings
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Native API#Types and data structures|Types & data structures]] — structs, enums, constants

'''Application framework''' — [[SDK 6.3/C++/Application]]:
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/Application#Entry point|Entry point]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/Application#class Cubios::Application|callbacks (on_Tick, on_Render, on_Twist, …)]] · timers, networking, saves, [[SDK 6.3/C++/Application#class Cubios::AppManager|AppManager]]

'''GFX Engine (scene graph)''' — [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine]] (56 documented methods + official-sample code):
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#The canonical pattern|The canonical pattern]] — how real games are structured
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Scene|Scene]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#SceneObject|SceneObject]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Screen|Screen]]
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::Sprite|Sprite]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::AnimatedSprite|AnimatedSprite]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::SpriteAtlas|SpriteAtlas]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::Background|Background]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::Text|Text]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::QRCode|QRCode]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Gfx::OffscreenRenderTarget|OffscreenRenderTarget]]
* [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Sound and SoundCollection|Sound / SoundCollection]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#NetworkMessage and SaveMessage|NetworkMessage / SaveMessage]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Scramble|Scramble]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Splashscreen|Splashscreen]] · [[SDK 6.3/C++/GFX Engine#Math|Math]]

== Rust API ==
'''Experimental / advanced track''' (crate <code>wowcube_sdk</code> v0.1.0): actively shipped with SDK 6.3, builds to the same WebAssembly ABI as C++.
* [[SDK 6.3/Rust#Crate layout|Crate layout]] — modules <code>application</code> and <code>cubios</code>
* [[SDK 6.3/Rust#Application trait|Application trait]] — <code>on_init / on_tick / on_render / on_timer</code>, timers
* [[SDK 6.3/Rust#Entry points|Entry points]] — <code>on_init(cid)</code> / <code>run()</code>
* [[SDK 6.3/Rust#FFI types|FFI types]] — topology, leaderboard, particles, enums
* [[SDK 6.3/Rust#Examples|Examples]] — three buildable projects in the DevKit
