Usage

This program is specifically designed as a helper to my SimpleGameEngine, and is not intended to be portable for other projects.

./ResourceGenerator.[exe|out] <text_postfix> <png_postfix> <resource1> <resource2> ... <resourceN> <outfile>

• <text_postfix>: The postfix to append to each text resource name, e.g. "_text".
• <png_postfix>: The postfix to append to each png resource name, e.g. "_png".
• <resource1> <resource2> ... <resourceN>: The files to be read, glsl files or png files.
• <outfile>: The .hpp or .cpp file to write the output to, can be a path to a file or just a filename.

Run it once with the desired header file path and once with the desired source file path, keeping all the other arguments the same.
