C++ Examples

This repository contains example C++ projects that use the brainCloud client. This is a good place to start learning how the various brainCloud APIs can be used.

BrainCloud-Cpp

The C++ client library is contained in folder thirdparties/braincloud-cpp. It is ready to build with cmake (minimum 3.4.0) for every platform. It can be built at the commandline as a static library or included in a project in your favourite IDE like android studio, xcode, visual studio or rider. Find the latest releases of the C++ brainCloud client library here.

Clone:

The projects include the required third party libraries and braincloud-cpp as git submodules.

$ git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:getbraincloud/examples-cpp.git

If you are updating an existing repository, or forget to --recurse-submodules, then just update the modules. Make sure you've done this if you get "missing plugin" error on load.

$ cd examples-cpp
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

Setup

Most examples require the header file ids.h which defines the server url, app id and app secret. This file is not included with the examples. Create a file into source code folder called ids.h, and put 3 defines in it:

#define BRAINCLOUD_SERVER_URL "https://api.braincloudservers.com/dispatcherV2"
#define BRAINCLOUD_APP_ID ""
#define BRAINCLOUD_APP_SECRET ""

Fill in values for BRAINCLOUD_APP_ID and BRAINCLOUD_APP_SECRET.

See Android Readme.

BC Chat

To build with cocoapods using examples-cpp/bcchat/MacOS/BCChat.xcworkspace:

cd ./macOS/
pod install

To generate an xcode project to open and build:

mkdir build
cd ./build
cmake -G Xcode ..

To generate, build and run makefile project at command prompt:

mkdir build
cd ./build
cmake ..
make
./BCChat

See BCChat Readme.
