This repository has been archived, as GDMake has been superceded by BetterGD in my own buildchain, and I highly would not recommend anyone else to use this any longer.

GDMake

A tool for creating GD mods

GDMake is a tool meant for simplifying and speeding up the development of Geometry Dash mods.

Example

This simple mod will add a new text to the main menu.

// Include GDMake macros, helpers, submodules
#include <GDMake.h>

// Create a hook for the main menu;
// One could also do
// GDMAKE_HOOK(MenuLayer::init)
// instead of the address, however
// to hook with the name instead of
// the address requires the address
// to be defined in the user dictionary

// The address is relative to GD base
// address
GDMAKE_HOOK(0x1907b0)
bool __fastcall MenuLayer_init(gd::MenuLayer* self) {
    // Call original function (leaving this out
    // would result in overwriting the original)
    // which we do not want right now

    // This will get replaced with a function call
    // when GDMake preprocesses the source files

    // The original returns a bool, which is false
    // if the initializing failed; if it failed, no
    // point in trying to add our own stuff to the
    // layer as it will be deleted shortly afterward
    if (!GDMAKE_ORIG(self))
        return false;
    
    // Get screen size
    auto winSize = cocos2d::CCDirector::sharedDirector()->getWinSize();
    // Create a new label with the text 'Hello world!'
    auto label = cocos2d::CCLabelBMFont::create("Hello world!", "bigFont.fnt");

    // Set label position to center of the screen.
    // This is equivalent to
    // label->setPosition(winSize.width / 2, winSize.height / 2)
    label->setPosition(winSize / 2);

    // Add the label to the main menu
    self->addChild(label, 100);
    
    // Init functions always return true if
    // initialization was succesful
    return true;
}

GDMAKE_MAIN {
    // Main entrypoint.
    // Do mod-specific initialization code here.
    // All hooks will be enabled automatically
    // after this function

    // Return an empty string on success, or
    // a string describing the error if something
    // went wrong.

    return "";
}

GDMAKE_UNLOAD {
    // If you need to do some mod-specific
    // unloading / cleanup, write it here

    // All hooks will be automatically 
    // removed after this
}
