CommandLineArgs

Here is a small library that helps analyzing the command line you received, when the game was started.

No more looping through the arguments - query them by name !

It takes you away from a for... loop and crawling through all the arguments in a straight-forward class, that supports switches, options and commands with some configuration options for the analysis of the command line.

Make sure to look in the wiki, which also includes sample code.

A little sneak preview, how simple and readable your startup code can be with this lib:

// Example 1: yourgame.exe --fullscreen
if (ARGS.has_option("fullscreen"))
    window_set_fullscreen(true);

// Example 2: yourgame.exe -w=1280 -h=720
if (ARGS.has_command("w") && ARGS.has_command("h")) {
    window_set_fullscreen(false);
    window_set_size(
        ARGS.get_command("w").value,
        ARGS.get_command("h").value
    );
}
